Hi George,
Thanks for the speedy reply! We were using a win95/NT program called Host
Explorer by Hummingbird software. This was a telnet package that did VT
term emulation and handled the VT printing commands properly.
The SSH client for windows does do VT term emulation for screen control,
but seems to ignore the print codes... I was just wondering if this is a
configuration issue or a "missing" feature of this client's VT support...

Yes, that's the problem... I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this is
possible under the SSH client for Windows distributed by the people at
www.ssh.com ... The topic is conspicuously absent from their documentation
which leads me to fear the worst.
Thanks,
