 ====== Flash Taskbar in PuTTY on Screen Activity ======
 So I've been trying to get this for a while. If I receive an email via pine or pm via irssi it would be nice if PuTTY would flash on the taskbar. Following this page on redbrick got it 1/2 working, in that if the current screen window had activity and PuTTY was minimised, then the taskbar would flash. I wanted it so if any screen window had activity that the taskbar would flash. Anyways after a bit of trial and error here is how I got it:
+<code>
 **Step 1: Putty Config**
  Terminal -> Bell -> Taskbar/caption indication on bell: Flashing
@@ Line 80: / Line 96: @@
   };
  };
+</code>
 After all this, screen will have to be restarted to take effect. Now, upon getting an email to pine or pm to irssi, PuTTY should flash on the taskbar.
 Not sure whether this will work for Gome/KDE.
