Hello,
I have to access emacs from a Windows ssh shell (chose Putty) and the
terminal shows absolutely no colors.
Is there a way to configure emacs to be coloured through Putty? Or, is
there a better ssh shell than Putty?
Cheers,

It works for me.
What do you have as the value of $TERM variable when you login via
PuTTY? It might be set to something that dupes Emacs into thinking
it's a terminal that doesn't support colors.
Also, make sure the options on the "Colours" tab in the PuTTY
configuration for your session are set up correctly, as to not disable
colors.

If your PuTTY session is set up correctly, and if $TERM says something
sensible, the color support should happen automatically. You don't
need to tell Emacs anything.

IIRC the default configuration of PuTTY specifies vt100 for its
terminal string (under Connection/Data in the PuTTY config). Changing
this to xterm or xterm256 should result in colors appearing (the
latter may not be supported on all servers).

Is it possible to install an xserver on your windows box? (MinGW and Cygwin are both open source;
there are others, some might even been free-beer).
This will allow emacs to open a full display on your windows machine.
HTH,

It says xterm.

Not only emacs doesn't show any colours but even though I can see
colours in the terminal when doing ls or so, if the lines is too long
it start eating the lines above and everything gets very messy.

That's an excellent idea. I have MinGW installed but I have no idea
how to configure it to do that. Any tutorials out there? Do I need to
get something like Xming or is it already distrubuted with MinGW?
