Oh, PuTTY. Now I understand. I've never been able to configure
PuTTY to behave like a real xterm--I'm not sure it's even possible--
but I seldom use it in a situation where I need to copy and paste so
I'm not very motivated. When I have to paste, I do what you've
done: :set paste; paste; :set nopaste.

From my notes (from 2005), it was pretty simple:

cd /home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/xterm-165
tar zxf xterm.tar.gz
cd xterm-165/
./configure --prefix=/home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/xterm-165
make
ln -s /home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/xterm-165/xterm-165/xterm ~/bin

I wasn't allowed to install anything in the official places on that
system.

The Solaris system I used also did not support color xterms, so
there were no color xterm terminfo entries. I installed xterm's
terminfo entries under TERMINFO=$HOME/terminfo. An easier solution
may be to put the proper terminfo/termcap definitions in your
~/.vimrc.

Gary
