I think you are confused, this has nothing to do with Putty or anything
you are running on the client side. The ability to hit the up-arrow and
get the previous command has to do with the shell you are logging into
(on the server or remote PC).
The suggestions about using BASH are good -- but they mean running BASH
on IBM i (or whatever you are logging into) not on your PC.
In case it helps: Your question is analogous to asking "I logged in
with ACS 5250 to my RPG program, but it doesn't have an F10 option. What
setting do I change in my 5250 emulator for my program to have an F10
option?" You'd be asking the wrong question -- whether the program
supports F10 has to do with the way the RPG program is written, not a
setting in the emulator. The same is true with using Putty, Git-Bash,
Cygwin, Linux, etc. on the client. It doesn't matter what is running on
the client, it's the shell you're logging into on the remote that
matters. The client just provides terminal emulation, it doesn't
dictate what the remote machine does with the keypresses.
