   Hello Wilfred.   
      
   13 Mar 24 08:45, you wrote to me:

   It could be something wrong with ncurses deinit. I've never saw that. But I   
   usually doesn't use session for anything else than GoldEd. And usually just   
   log off.   
      
    VA>>>>> Putty will work fine. Only I suggest you to change terminal   
    VA>>>>> type 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> /usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-vt100   
      
    VA>> Let me know it that helped please.   
      
    WvV> So terminfo for putty already exists on my system...   
      
    WvV>>> Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my   
    WvV>>> terminal type as 'linux'.   
      
    VA>>>>> to putty or putty-256color. It's in Connection->Data section.   
      
    WvV>>> 'putty-256color' makes no difference.   
      
    VA>> putty-256color just add more colors support. F keys are broken   
    VA>> most probably because terminfo is missing.   
      
    WvV> That is not the case...   
      
   I spend a lot of time configuring my Putty to work correctly. I'd suggest you   
   first make it working without luit. You may need to play with Putty's   
   settings. And TERM=putty works the best for me. What I mean - it may work and   
   it's just configuration thing. It should be totally fine for you too because   
   you have correct termnifo.
