It's been a while, but I'm trying again to get emacs and plink to behave.

Before the security folks got seriously paranoid, I could run a graphical
linux (Fedora) on my own machine and access all the servers I needed. Now I
must access the servers only through my corporate (that is, hobbled) laptop.

I do have a WSL2 Ubuntu and Cygwin installation on the Windows laptop, but
they don't seem to help, so the emacs I use is the Windows version.

Here's what I got from the emacs command you gave me. Or I think it is --
Windows does not like the command line.

Thanks!
Fred
