@ -1409,6 +1409,20 @@ This option is enabled by default. If it is disabled, PuTTY will
ignore any control sequences sent by the server which use the
extended 256-colour mode supported by recent versions of \cw{xterm}.
If you have an application which is supposed to use 256-colour mode
and it isn't working, you may find you need to tell your server that
your terminal supports 256 colours. On Unix, you do this by ensuring
that the setting of \cw{TERM} describes a 256-colour-capable
terminal. You can check this using a command such as \c{infocmp}:
\c $ infocmp | grep colors
\c colors#256, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#256,
\e bbbbbbbbbb
If you do not see \cq{colors#256} in the output, you may need to
change your terminal setting. On modern Linux machines, you could
try \cq{xterm-256color}.
