Re: PuTTY testing (shaping)

For me it seems to work now, with all the force redraw thingie. Why
does it delete the whole word though, when you want to delete the last
character???

again my question: What is this arabic in putty for? There are no
commands you could pass on to a server in arabic, are there??

thnx

Omar
