I must explain it. I am aware of that. But in Linux version of Putty I
have problem emulating DEC VT220. Application keyboard (using ESC[n~)
does not  allow me to switch between Numeric and Application keypad
(Using CTRL + NUMLOCK). I must use 'xterm R6' setting which places
PF1-PF4 keys on different location. I have many users now running Putty
on Windows 9x. I want migrate these users to Linux and  if possible keep
existing PF* keys layout.
I know I have more options (xterm - up to and including  SuSE 9.0,
mlterm, xiterm).  I  have been using these emulators for quite some time.
Ok. If  Putty + Wine will not work I am going to resort to above
mentioned solutions.

Thanks for your time and tips !
