I'm not technical, use putty to get to our unix box. Have new laptop
with windows 7. using putty 0.61 and everytime I put in something
that has @ in it putty sends me to the next line. Hopefully there's an
easy fix for this? Please reply to sandr...@hp.com. thanks you

@hp.com, eh? I don't suppose the Unix box in question is running HP/UX?

If so, that's an oddity of HP/UX's default configuration, and it has
nothing to do with PuTTY - it'd behave the same no matter what client
you used to log in. I can't remember exactly how you turn it off (it's
been a while since I had access to an HP/UX machine), but it'll be
something like 'stty eol undef' or 'stty eol2 undef'. Try 'stty -a' to
find out which terminal control is set to '@'.

This is actually running on an Itanium box! You've given me a place
to start. Thank you so much!

It was "kill" that was set to @.
