Tip

In case the background color is black, the blue color used for some output could be difficult to read. It is possible to switch to an alternate color from the 'Preferences' menu option. This requires the terminal emulator to support 256 colors (xterm).

If the menu does not correctly display line drawing, you can change some parameters in putty.

...

  • on Linux, add a line in .putty/sessions/yoursession containing this parameter (above)
  • on Windows, change settings from "Window" → "Translation" pane and check the button "Enable VT100 line drawing even in UTF-8 mode"

(info) you can keep your locale / codepage as UTF-8.

...

To correct this, enter the following commands:

# echo $TERM
vt100
# TERM=vt200xterm
# export TERM
# menu
