Comment: add new PuTTY parameter

...

Additional configuration steps to improve the behavior of the terminal emulation:

StepCommand
On Charon-HPA host system or remote Linux systemTo enable better line drawing do the following on system where PuTTY runs
PuTTY versions before 0.71
Temporary set locale to C before starting PuTTY if you use a different locale. 

$ export LC_ALL=C

Then start PuTTY.

This setting will enable better line-drawing.

PuTTY versions starting with 0.71
Use the new UTF8linedraw parameter in the PuTTY configuration.

Either add the line UTF8linedraw=1 to your session configuration file

or

Start PuTTY from the command-line, load the HPA-Telnet-VT100 session, enable VT100 line drawing for UTF-8 (the last parameter in Window > Translation), and save the session.

On the HP-UX guest system
Set the terminal type to vt100 after logging in to the system (this can be added to the login profile, if required).

$ TERM=vt100

$ export TERM

This will configure a terminal type known to HP-UX. Without a known terminal type many screen-based applications (e.g., editor, SAM) will not work.
