\C{config} Configuring PuTTY
This makes sense in a windowing system where the window becomes an
icon when minimised, such as Windows 3.1 or most X Window System
setups; but in the Windows 95-like user interface it isn't as

+By default, PuTTY only uses the server-supplied \e{window} title, and
+ignores the icon title entirely. If for some reason you want to see

+If you do this, PuTTY's window title and Taskbar caption will
change into the server-supplied icon title if you minimise the PuTTY
window, and change back to the server-supplied window title if you
restore it. (If the server has not bothered to supply a window or
-icon title, none of this will happen.) By checking the box marked
-\q{Avoid ever using icon title}, you can arrange that PuTTY will
-always display the window title, and completely ignore any icon

PuTTY allows you to set the cursor colour, the default foreground
and background, and the precise shades of all the ANSI configurable
colours (black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white).
-In addition, if you have selected \q{Bolded text is a different
-colour}, you can also modify the precise shades used for the bold
-versions of these colours.
+You can also modify the precise shades used for the bold versions of
