yes - but see

	http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html
	A.5.1 What terminal type does PuTTY use?

which is not really helpful.  Compare PuTTY and xterm using

	ftp://invisible-island.net/vttest/

(the difference in wrapping behavior which is evident in the first menu
selection is reflected in the different terminal descriptions).
