Currently, I use PuTTY for SSHing into my linux server and Cygwin for local development when working on my Windows machine. Sadly, the terminal emulator that comes with Cygwin doesn't approach the quality of the excellent terminal emulator that comes with PuTTY.

We have several curses style applications which we'd like to provide access to through a browser-based interface.

Does anybody know how to make the terminal remember its previous state, or wrap text so that this doesn't break? For example, if your terminal reads something like (using | ...

I noticed that my fullpath (what I get when I "echo $PATH" in the terminal) does not look like a "normal" one (as I see "usr/bin" quite a lot of times). What does it mean? How does it affect my use of the terminal? And how, if, can I change ...
I am working on a file downloader in Perl (UNIX/Mac OS X on terminal).
