I'm with Tim on this one - PuTTY is very useful. The only hiccup I've had with PuTTY involves a strange interaction between a remote linux/unix machine connecting to Xwin32 8.1 over a putty ssh tunnel. A block of text cut on XP from the ConTEXT editor pasted into a linux/unix window with a center mouse button click will sometimes drop one line, typically something like the 7th line out of 10, and not even leave a blank line. It's like that missing line never existed. This is not too hard to spot with English or code but is a lot less obvious with DNA or Protein sequences. Cut/paste in the linux -> XP direction has not been observed to glitch. Cut/paste from Context to other windows apps have not glitched this way. I have no idea where the bug is - it could be in PuTTY , ConTEXT, XWin32, XP itself, or some oddball combination of the above.
