[OT] Putty invocation
Hi folks Am I going mad or is there no way I can start my fav client program PuTTY and specify a saved 'session' directly with a switch? (i.e. I can specify a hostname, but I _want_ to specify a session name - to have my colours / fonts etc) cheers dj
Re: [OT] Putty invocation
I make a shortcut and then put something like this in the Target field in Properties. "C:\Program Files\Putty\putty.exe" @SessionName HTH, Simon.

And does anyone know how to get putty to save settings like they key for backspace, etc, rather than my having to set them every time I start it? Do you mean setting the backspace to Control-H in the keyboard tab isn't working, or are there other esoteric things you want to set? /Robert

I can set it once in putty, and it works, but if I quit putty and restart, new sessions don't get it. Michael

I've got it working here. /Robert
Re: [OT] Putty invocation
I think everything is stored on a per-session basis. So if you want something changed for all sessions you have to change and re-save each one. I think (having only ever used Putty against two machines running the same OS) ! Simon. The backspace-ctrl-h. I can set it once in putty, and it works, but if I quit putty and restart, new sessions don't get it.
