This has been frustrating me for a while now. Putting "export TERM=linux" in my .zshrc file (I use Zsh) and setting Connection->Data->Terminal-type string to "linux" worked for me :-) Thank you!

This configuration item is in Connection -> Data -> Terminal-type string, in putty's configuration. If you have problems with backspace later, you can change it to ^H. The cool features of an xterm terminal is the ability to use the mouse to click links in lynx, or use the scroll wheel to scroll through documents in lynx, or in vim.. See ya!
