+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{features.qtitle}

+PuTTY can optionally provide the xterm service of allowing server
+applications to find out the local window title. This feature is
+disabled by default, but you can turn it on if you really want it.
+
+NOTE that this feature is a \e{potential security hazard}. If a
+malicious application can write data to your terminal (for example,
+if you merely \c{cat} a file owned by someone else on the server
+machine), it can change your window title (unless you have disabled
+this as mentioned in \k{config-features-retitle}) and then use this
+service to have the new window title sent back to the server as if
+typed at the keyboard. This allows an attacker to fake keypresses
+and potentially cause your server-side applications to do things you
+didn't want. Therefore this feature is disabled by default, and we
+recommend you do not turn it on unless you \e{really} know what you
+are doing.

 By default, when you copy and paste a piece of the PuTTY screen that
-contains VT100 line and box drawing characters, PuTTY will translate
-them into the \q{poor man's} line-drawing characters \c{+}, \c{-}
-and \c{|}. The checkbox \q{Don't translate line drawing chars}
-disables this feature, so line-drawing characters will be pasted as
-if they were in the normal character set. This will typically mean
-they come out mostly as \c{q} and \c{x}, with a scattering of
-\c{jklmntuvw} at the corners. This might be useful if you were
-trying to recreate the same box layout in another program, for
