+\H{config-bell} The Bell panel
+
+The Bell configuration panel allows you to control how PuTTY should
+respond to a terminal bell.
+
+\S{config-bellstyle} Set the style of bell
+
+When a terminal bell occurs, PuTTY can do one of the following things:
+
+\b Nothing. The bell is disabled. Taskbar bell indication still
+works, however.
+
+\b Play Windows Default Sound. The Windows Default Sound (which can
+be configured from the Sounds control panel) will be played.
+
+\b Play a custom sound file. Select a \c{.wav} sound file using the
+\e{Custom sound file to play as a bell} text box, or browse for the
+file to play using the \e{Browse...} button.
+
+\b Flash the terminal window as a visual bell. No sound will be
+played.
+
+In addition, the PuTTY window's title bar and its entry in the taskbar
+can be configured to flash or invert to indicate that a terminal bell
+has occurred.
+
+\S{config-belloverload} Control the bell overload behaviour
+
+Sometimes mistakes, for example trying to \c{cat} a binary file on a
+Unix machine, can lead to a large number of terminal bells being
+received by PuTTY. It might take a long time for PuTTY to catch up
+with reacting to these bells, and the noise or flashing could be very
+irritating for the user.
+
+PuTTY's bell overload handling is designed to avoid this problem. If
+turned on using the \e{Bell is temporarily disabled when over-used}
+tick box, the bell will be disabled if it occurs more than a specified
+number of times in a specified number of seconds. When no bells have
+occurred for a number of seconds, PuTTY re-enables the bell.

\H{config-window} The Window panel
The Window configuration panel allows you to control aspects of the
\S{config-auth} SSH authentication options
\S{config-protocol} SSH protocol options
+
+\H{config-file} Storing configuration in a file
+
+PuTTY does not currently support storing its configuration in a file
+instead of the Registry. However, you can work around this with a
+couple of batch files.
+
+You will need a file called (say) \c{PUTTY.BAT} which imports the
+contents of a file into the Registry, then runs PuTTY, exports the
+contents of the Registry back into the file, and deletes the
+Registry entries. This can all be done using the Regedit command
+line options, so it's all automatic. Here is what you need in
+\c{PUTTY.BAT}:
+
+\c @ECHO OFF
+\c regedit /s putty.reg
+\c regedit /s puttyrnd.reg
+\c start /w putty.exe
+\c regedit /e puttynew.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY
+\c copy puttynew.reg putty.reg
+\c del puttynew.reg
+\c regedit /s puttydel.reg
+
+This batch file needs two auxiliary files: \c{PUTTYRND.REG} which
+sets up an initial safe location for the \c{PUTTY.RND} random seed
+file, and \c{PUTTYDEL.REG} which destroys everything in the Registry
+once it's been successfully saved back to the file.
+
+Here is \c{PUTTYDEL.REG}:
+
+\c REGEDIT4
+\c
+\c [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY]
+
+Here is an example \c{PUTTYRND.REG} file:
+
+\c REGEDIT4
+\c
+\c [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY]
+\c "RandSeedFile"="a:\putty.rnd"
+
+You should replace \c{a:\\putty.rnd} with the location where you
+want to store your random number data. If the aim is to carry around
+PuTTY and its settings on one floppy, you probably want to store it
+on the floppy.
