   Agreed.  But...

   I use putty as well, and have seen that same behaviour.
The deal is Putty, not NetBSD.  Putty is configured to sent
those key sequences to the underlying application.  For
example, if you're using 'vi' and hit page up and page
down, it scrolls a page up and a page down.  To move
putty's scrollbar a page, you have to use Shift-PgUp
or Shift-PgDown.

   I would presume other keys work the same way.  If
they're not working in other applications on your windows
machine, it's a windows problem.
