Talk:Curses interface
Issue with PuTTY
I noticed a while ago that recent versions of Ubuntu expose an issue with PuTTY that affects curses applications, including the NetHack curses interface, causing window borders and backgrounds to not display correctly. To fix it, create a file ~/.terminfo/putty with the following contents:
rep@ use=xterm
Then set the environment variable TERM to putty.

Updated to 3.6.7
Some of this text dated back to 3.4.3. I played with an account on NAO, running 3.6.7, and updated the text to match my experience. I don't usually play with the curses interface, and I tried only the NAO server, so if I missed something, feel free to update.
