$ echo $TERM does return linux, doesn't it?
Which emacs are you using: GNU or Xemacs?
Are you using X tunnelling, or are you running emacs in text mode?
This shouldn't afect anything, but Window -> Translation: Received data... is set to UTF-8, isn't it?
Which font are you using? I find Courier New good.
I thought I had the proper settings, but actually I didn't.
I set
UTF-8 in translation
Control-H for backspace
Linux for function keys and keypad
Courier, 10-point for font
in the main Putty panel and mistakenly assumed those were universal settings. Once I set them for a particular profile (now that I know where I made the mistake), things got better, but still not perfect. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction James.
I'm using GNU emacs on FC2 from a W2K box via Putty without an X tunnel.
An echo $TERM always returns xterm regardless of the Putty settings. That's probably what's broken.
Backspace now works. The end key still doesn't work. I forgot to mention that hitting the home key brings up a search box too. I tried both the "standard" and "rxvt" settings in Putty for the Home and End keys but neither one works as expected.
I think I'll get a later Putty client and see what happens.
