Hi Kevin,

I used the puttycyg-20070207.zip binary to install, and this is what worked on my XP SP2 machine:


1. Copy putty.exe and cthelper.exe to /usr/local/bin.


2. Click Start/Run, enter c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\putty.exe and press ENTER.


3. PuTTY launches.


4. In the PuTTY Configuration window, click Session in the left pane and in the right pane enter:

   A. Command (use - for login shell) --- Enter a dash -
   B. Port (ignored) --- Enter a dash -
   C. Connection Type click  (*)Cygterm


5. Put Default Settings in the Saved Sessions window.


6. Click Save. Save again as cygwin, for backup purposes.


7. Close PuTTY and re-open with the Start/Run command in step 2 - that should be it.


8. If you create a desktop shortcut:

   A. Target:  C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\putty.exe  -load  cygwin  (See step 5)
   B. Start in:  C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin


9. My PuTTY version info - Clicking the upper left window of the PuTTY window and choosing About PuTTY shows "Unidentified build, Dec  6 2006 14:50:41"


I've been using the  version since February and it works great - you might be sure that Cygwin is updated since this requires Cygwin 1.5.24 or higher according to the web page.  cygcheck -s -r -v shows Cygwin DLL 1.5.24.  I have PuTTY set for 9999 lines of scrollback, logging to disk, etc. and all of that works fine.


CUT AND PASTE - your original question - To copy a word or line, double click or triple click.  To paste back to PuTTY press Shift+Insert or right-click.


==========Keith
