PuTTY can be considered an xterm emulation. So it might help to put into your ~/.profile file something like TERM=`tset - -Q` export TERM tset tries to determine in which terminal emulation it is running. This is recorded in the TERM environment variable. GNU Emacs uses this to determine whether it can run in this environment. If this fails, then set in ~/.profile TERM to xterm or xterm-color and export the variable when logged in via ssh/PuTTY. -- Greetings Pete IMBECILITY, n.
