PuTTY Question - stdout of text editors stays in terminal

[RichardMNixon]

So I picked up a modified version of PuTTY that lets me print to my clipboard: http://dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/windows/puttyclip/
That part works very nice.

However the thing I loved about my old version of putty was that whenever I edited something in nano or vim, then I closed it, the edited text disappears. When I'm done editing, I like it to look like

Show More Hide

{TEXT}

Does that make sense? My old putty had the first one but my new putty does the second and I want to change it to the first
I tried aliasing nano to "nano 1>/dev/null" but then I don't see the editor to work with it either. Is there someway to only cut stdout when you close the terminal? Any other ideas on a workaround?

Thanks a bunch.

Wish I could help you, but I'm using regular vanilla flavoured PuTTY and a shitty Win Xp machine.

My putty works as described, But is it putty or is it the machine you are interfacing? I mean that sounds more like a setting in linux, not putty, just my two cents, don,´t really know.
