| AFAIK Putty isn't a Wyse-50 emulator, I'd choose one of the ANSI
| variants for yout TERM settings - I use TERM=xterm
|
| My putty settings for SCO OSR5 are
| {menu} {new settings}
| {terminal} {keyboard}
| Backspace: Control-H
| Home and End keys: standard
| Function keys: Esc[n~
| {connection}
| Options to send to server
| Terminal-type: xterm
|
| This works fine with terminfo based apps like vi and termcap based apps
| (I can't remember if I had to tweak xterm in termcap)
|
| I also have the following:
| {window} {translation}
| Received data assumed to be: CP437
| Handling of line-draw: Unicode
| I use this with a suitable font like Lucida Console.
| YMMV

We have a poster who didn't bother to include a description of the OS
he is using so we can't be specific however at least 5.0.6 and 5.0.7
have an inconsistency in the xterm termcap entry for the HOME key.

    ho=\E[H
    kh=\E[8 -- should be the same as ho, as least with PuTTy

This can cause some interesting problems.
