Unfortunately, there seems to be some issue with PuTTYs terminal emulation and emacs (emacs-21.3-4.10 on RHEL 4) which makes the cursor jump around and do some weird things like that. They tell me that hitting Control-L "fixes" it for a minute or two, but it'll start happening again. I've gotten around this for some people by installing CygWin and exporting the display to their machine, so they can run Xemacs. But some people just want to stick with CLI. One user uses Tera Term Pro, and is happy with its' terminal emulation, but TTP is an ancient program that doesn't even support SSH... he uses it to telnet to one ancient server, and from there SSH to the live machine :-) I know about TTSSH, but that isn't the answer I'm looking for ;-) How can I get PuTTY and emacs to be happy with each other? Please note, I'm one of those crazy vi people... I don't know anything about emacs. If the answer is in some emacs settings, I could use more handholding than "Just do the XYZ function!" :-) -- * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ *
