Telnet under the Win7 command window is a pain, I also find that it
throws up some spurious characters when editing source files. Any
suggestions re a telnet counterpart that provides full windows
capability, including scroll bars, font and colour selection? Googling
Telnet seems to come up with nothing but .... Telnet.

Try searching for PuTTY and Tera Term.

+1. Putty is a single executable that fits nicely on a thumb drive.
Installation is... copying one file. It also does serial ports
and SSH. There may be SCP under it; I forget.
Tera Term is fine, but more of a mess.

You could install cygwin, which includes an X server and xterms, but
that's a bit like hitting a nail with a sledgehammer.
