With putty set as xterm, I get the following:
//may/home/festus # echo $TERM
xterm
//may/home/festus # infocmp -1 | egrep "kend|khome"
kend=\EOF,
khome=\EOH,
//may/home/festus #
With putty set as putty, I get:
//may/home/festus # echo $TERM
putty
//may/home/festus # infocmp -1 | egrep "kend|khome"
//may/home/festus #
When putty is set to xterm, and I then run screen, I get the following:
//may/home/festus # echo $TERM
screen
//may/home/festus # infocmp -1 | egrep "kend|khome"
kend=\E[4~,
khome=\E[1~,
//may/home/festus #
When putty is set to screen (no screen running), I get:
festus@may:~//may/home/festus # echo $TERM
screen
//may/home/festus # infocmp -1 | egrep "kend|khome"
kend=\E[4~,
khome=\E[1~,
festus@may:~//may/home/festus #
*** Note the difference in $PS1
Perhaps I'll try running putty as screen for awhile and see what
happens. If only my ISP wasn't so idiotic as to not allow screen
sessions...

It looks like I just never noticed this before because I \always\ used a
screen session.
Thanks,
John
