This, annoyingly, breaks cancelling the dialog with the escape key. Should this work? Probably. Annoying. Very annoying. I'm not so concerned about the problem, as I don't think the help is useful, modern or actually wanted by most people using it. Cancellation works by: * ssd->cancelbutton->button.iscancel = TRUE; * if (ctrl->button.iscancel) actual_base_id = IDCANCEL; * When someone presses escape, Windows generates a WM_COMMAND(IDCANCEL) * This is not documented anywhere sensible. Nowhere. NOWHERE. Maybe we could hijack the WM_COMMAND before it arrives at the button handler, or something? Shrug.

Good plan! Unfortunately, it breaks escape-as-cancel. I'd recommend just deleting the silly help file. See the rant in the commit, or someone can raise a new ticket for fixing this properly. |

Thats a shame. Would it be possible for an About option in the Menu when you click the top left icon (currently you have Move and Close (ALT-F4). Adding the About here would be useful! If not can the buttons for Keygen/Agent and Help be shrunk to add About back again (also shrunk)? Thanks |

The new builds of Putty have had the About button removed.
Would it not be better to remove the Cancel button as you can use the File>Close or Window "X" to terminate the program (unless it serves another purpose!).
Then you could but the About button back which is useful to find out the software build info.
