 well, i'd say that for three hours of coding the result is not too
bad. now plaunch can show the list of putty/puttytel windows and do
some actions upon them: switch to window, hide/show and close it. i
guess it would do as a temporary solution while Simon implements -N
option. if you want, you can try out plaunch:
http://dwalin.ru/putty/plaunch.exe. be aware that it's a deep beta
version in active development, so there is no documentation, not all
features work and i'm not sure about compatibility with windows
versions other than 2k and xp. :) truth to say, i'd like to have
someone else than me to beta-test it. :)

 p.s. almost forgot to say that there are keyboard shortcuts for some
actions: win-p will bring up launch dialog, win-w will show the putty
sessions list, and in this list the delete key works to kill. :)
sorry, for now shortcuts are hardcoded, somewhen i'll make them
configurable.

 always at your service,
 dwalin.
