Compare PuTTY and xterm using As an aside, the second paragraph in that FAQ entry is incorrect, since xterm implements the same title-string control sequences. PuTTY's developers have chosen to selectively use (not limited to this instance) old X11R6 xterm for comparison, while implementing features from modern xterm (since 1996), e.g., the 256-color support. xterm doesn't implement the Linux color palette sequences (though it does recognize a different set with comparable functionality). From xterm's manpage: brokenLinuxOSC (class BrokenLinuxOSC) If true, xterm applies a workaround to ignore malformed control sequences that a Linux script might send. Compare the palette control sequences documented in console_codes with ECMA-48. The default is ``true.'' -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
