   Hello Wilfred.   
      
   14 Mar 24 08:55, you wrote to me:   
      
    VA>>>> I spend a lot of time configuring my Putty to work correctly.   
    VA>>>> I'd suggest you first make it working without luit.   
    WvV>>> Then I have to set my terminals to cp850 charset. I rather keep

    WvV> settings.   
      
   You're completely right. That's the reason. And when you change terminal type,   
   ncurses expects different escape sequences.   
      
   My settings are:   
   terminal type putty   
      
   Then in Terminal->Keyboard:   
      
   The Backspace key -> Control-?   
   The Home and End keys -> Standard   
   The Function keys and keypad -> ESC[n~   
   Shift/Ctrl/Alt with the arrow keys -> Ctrl toggles app mode   
   Initial state of cursor keys -> Normal   
   Initial state of numeric keypad -> Normal   
   AltGf acts as Compose key -> off   
   Control-Alt is different from AltGf -> on   
      
   In Terminal->Features all is off except "Disable application keypad mode"   
      
    VA>>>> You may need to play with Putty's settings. And TERM=putty   
    VA>>>> works the best for me. What I mean - it may work and it's just   
    VA>>>> configuration thing. It should be totally fine for you too   
    VA>>>> because you have correct termnifo.   
      
    WvV>>> I can spend a lot of time on it, or keep my current working   
    WvV>>> config... I see no gain, spending the time.   
    VA>> Sure. If that works for you. I'm just trying to help. :)   
    WvV> And that is highly appreciated!   
      
   Try my settings. It could work.
