View source for Using pterm with WSL

'''pterm''' is a terminal emulator based on [https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY ]'s code.
It's a nice replacement for the archaic [[w:Windows Console|Windows Console]].

I'd like to run [[w:Windows Subsystem for Linux|Windows Subsystem for Linux]] sessions inside '''pterm''' too,
but WSL doesn't have an option to configure a which terminal to use, as far as I know.

'''pterm''' runs <code>cmd.exe</code> by default, but there's
an undocumented<ref name="undocumented" /> <code>-e</code> option<ref name="source" />
that allows you to run a different command. So if you want to run WSL inside '''pterm''', use:
 pterm -e wsl -d Debian --cd ~
