Hi Nicholas,

That "q" reference sounded familiar. I found a setting in putty that mentions this:

Btw: With these settings your messsages look OK in putty. But now my 'mc' linedrawing characters look totally borked. When I set putty to use utf-8, 'mc' looks ok, but your messages in golded look like this:

Not as it should be, but usable...


Bye, Wilfred.
