Thanks Flint. Sadly for this one machine I do have to rely on the windows base. For my other machines everything works fine and dandy. ;-) On this machine I rely heavily on option 5 while using it.

I would recommend the following: 1. Either VIM(VI) or EMACS (Either case requires religious training) 2. Reformating the system you are ssh'in in from with Ubuntu 3. Booting off a Ubuntu Disk, ssh -X and remote gedit x term 4. Pre-frontal lobotomy 5. Alchol or drugs These later options should only be considered if you must continue to ssh in using putty.
