PuTTY emulates a Unix terminal with terminfo database, and thus
expects the program to send escape sequences to move the cursor. If
the OpenSSH client used by Windows does the same, then it means these
two emulators aren't currently supported by Emacs on Windows, because
Emacs assumes a native Windows console.
Patches to add support for curses-like escape sequences are welcome.
