    I'd suggest reading the manual, available either as a Windows help
    file from the PuTTY download page, or online at
    http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/

    Chapter 1: `Introduction to PuTTY' and Chapter 2: `Getting Started
    with PuTTY' are probably going to be particularly useful for you.

    Quite possibly; if you can tell us (the PuTTY team) what you don't
    like, we might be able to improve it.

    Bear in mind, though, that a telephone isn't very user friendly until
    you know about telephone numbers, area codes, and dialling tones.
