screen, PuTTY, and kernel config

I have run into two issues getting screen to work with the Linux kernel
configuration utility (make config).

First, in PuTTY, the display is garbled when the config utility is
running.  I have attached screenshots of the output I am getting
(PuTTY-garbled.png) and what I get when I'm not running in screen
(PuTTY-good.png).  This problem does not affect me if I do a console login.

Second, if I am in a screen session and SSH into another server running
screen (resulting in a 'nested' screen session), the arrow keys do not
work in the kernel configuration utility.  Other keys seem to work ok,
just not the arrow keys.  The arrow keys work fine when I am at a
prompt.  This problem does not seem to be associated with PuTTY since a
console login exhibits the same behavior.

Does anyone know how to fix these?

Thanks,
Chris Lieb
