Your are one **** smart fellow. You have no idea how smart. Really
brilliant.

Thanks a million. The PuTTY solution works perfectly. All cursor keys work.

The plink solution didn't work; it gave me a session on the W2K3 server
instead of Linux. Or did you mean to run plink first?

In case case, problem solved.

Thanks again
Hussain
