Menu launcher

Execute the following command:

# menu

to display the Toolkit menu:

Putty configuration

Recommended color scheme for 'putty' is (all other values can remain as they are by default):

Color to adjust	Red	Green	Blue

Color to adjust	Red	Green	Blue
Default Foreground	0	0	0
Default Foreground Bold	0	0	160
Default Background	255	255	255
Default Background Bold	192	192	192
ANSI White	223	223	223

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

Set the new parameter "UTF8linedraw=1"

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"

you can keep your locale / codepage as UTF-8

Change the terminal settings: if set to vt100 for example, you will see lowercase characters in place of menu borders.

To correct this, enter the following commands:

# TERM=xterm
# export TERM
# menu

Notes:

It is possible to disable line drawing (semi-graphics) from the preferences menu if necessary
If you’re using putty, you'll maybe have to force the Terminal-type string:

and maybe Remote character set parameter:
If you have issues with some characters that are not displayed correctly, please see this article: Cannot get correct line drawing on Linux/UNIX with Putty
