However, my problems with TAB key and C-C appear to be quite different, and only the TAB key one appears to be unique to using PuTTY/ssh. First, regarding C-c a not working to bring up agenda-view, this problem exists on my emacs instance in Ubuntu even when using it directly, not through ssh. Pressing C-c a gives error message 'C-c a is undefined', despite the fact that agenda-view works fine when accessing it through the menu system. Frustrating, but it has nothing to do with PuTTY. (And PuTTY does send C-c properly to stop the 'sleep 5' process in a bare terminal.) Second, the problem with TAB key in viper-mode does seem specific to PuTTY/ssh, since it works fine when working directly. This doesn't seem possible that it's a PuTTY problem, since so far as I can tell TAB works properly in all other modes, and it works properly to cycle visibility as soon as I turn viper-mode off. Thanks for the suggestions though! I'm wondering if you have any others?. . . Regards, Herb
