   Hello Wilfred.   
      
   11 Mar 24 09:26, you wrote to me:   
      
    WvV>>>> And starting golded in a local Konsole terminal "TERM=xterm"

    VA>>> If you use luit - than having xterm in UTF-8 is correct.   
      
    WvV> This one also works with putty (which is set to use utf-8 as charset).   
      
   Yep. I've tried luit in my configuration and it works totally fine.   
      
    WvV>>>> And in the same kind of terminal but with the default charset   
    WvV>>>> set to cp850, this one works:   
      
    WvV>>>> # sudo -u fido LANG=en_US.CP850 /usr/local/bin/golded -f   
      
    VA>>> This is correct commandline to if you have your terminal in   
    VA>>> cp850. Just choose what works better for you. Probably luit and   
    VA>>> terminal in UTF-8 is most convenient.   
      
    WvV>> I'll see after I have tested with putty...   
      
    WvV> I'll probably switch to this setup since it also works with putty.   
      
   It's definitely more convenient.   
      
    WvV>>>> I will still have to test these in a putty terminal later   
    WvV>>>> during the coming week.   
      
    VA>>> Putty will work fine. Only I suggest you to change terminal type   
    VA>>> in putty from xterm (they use if by default)   
      
    WvV>> I think it's set to 'linux' in putty.   
      
    WvV> Switching from 'linux' to 'putty' makes things worse:   
      
    WvV> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/8a290fabf761   
      
   That may be because terminfo for putty doesn't exist on your system. You may   
   need to install additional packages. I have putty-256color and it works   
   perfect.   
      
   How to check.   
   Run infocmp -D   
   This will show you which directories are used to find terminfo.   
   Then search in those directories, is putty available. If not - you may need   
   install package like ncurses-term. May have different name on your system.   
      
   Let me know it that helped please.   
      
    WvV> Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my   
    WvV> terminal   
    WvV> type as 'linux'.   
      
    VA>>> to putty or putty-256color. It's in Connection->Data section.   
      
    WvV> 'putty-256color' makes no difference.   
      
   putty-256color just add more colors support. F keys are broken most probably   
   because terminfo is missing.
