Using End, Home, Del and Ctrl arrow in scilab console from putty

[Adrien Vogt-Schilb]

Hi

In short, when i use Scilab through putty, the console does not 
reccognize keystrokes like [End] [Home] or [Del]. Those produce thinfs 
like [1~  [4~  or  [3~
Anyway i can configure my Scilab to solve this?


For the details:

I have a Linux server with Scilab 5.3.3 installed on it.
I connect to this server with Putty from my personal win XP machine.

When using the regular console, I can use things like [End] to go to the 
end of the current line, or even [Alt]+[Backspace] to delete an entire word.
I had to configure putty specifically for this.

On the Linux server, I have to start Scilab -nwni because I cannot use X 
in my win XP machine. (i do not believe that this matters at all)

I don't know if the problem should be solved by configuring my local 
keyboard, putty, the Linux server, or Scilab in the linux server

Best regards
