putty is not converting "\n" to a new line??? how can I fix this???

Hi,

I'm using Putty to remote in. What's really annoying is that it is showing "\n" in the response text instead of rendering this as a new line.

How could I fix this?

Is this a Putty configuration issue (can't quite see the setting), or something on my server end?

thanks in advance
