I just tried this and found it effective, but there's a trick. The version of PUTTY I'm using (Development snapshot 2002-06-04 on (echhh...) Windows 2K) suddenly began responding correctly to the Home and End keys when I entered the string as above, but also, somewhat counter-intuitively, under Terminal/Keyboard selected Standard for "The Home and End keys" and ESC[n~ for "The Function keys and keypad". That is, selecting Linux for the latter broke End key behaviour. FYI and thanks for the tip. -- Michael Epting ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
