[TriLUG] Midnight Commander through PuTTY

[Dave Cowan]

I use PuTTY to access my fedora server here at home from my WinXP 
machine and it works great. I was playing around with Midnight Commander 
this evening for the first time using PuTTY and all the line characters 
on the screen are displayed as "a" with a circumflex. My Google search 
was not very successful in finding a solution (however, I was pleased to 
see that someone else was looking for a solution to the same 
problem...so if I am an idiot and doing something wrong...at least I am 
not a lone idiot)

I tried various configuration changes in PuTTY; various character set 
translations and how putty handles line drawing characters but nothing 
seemed to work.

Have any of you experienced this or have any ideas how I can correct 
this problem?

Regards,

Dave
