Windows 10 SCO Filepro issue

[Fairlight]

I stand corrected.  I see the option now in stock PuTTY.  I wonder if it
was added after I started using it.  I've never seen it before today, and
I haven't had occasion to be on that screen of the config in probably a
decade.

Me being completely -not- a paper person, I've never had cause to go
looking at it.  I thought it didn't have it, though.  Some half-remembered
conversation somewhere, and apparently [now?] incorrect.
