PocketPutty Question

[Automaton]

I have a Sprint Mogul/6800, and I use PocketPutty to SSH into a linux server.

I'm not able to type any characters in PocketPutty using the phone's on-screen "symbol" keypad for some reason. The on-screen alpha-numeric keypad works fine, and I use it to send ^[ escape sequences through PocketPutty. However, the "Symbol" keypad behaves as if I did not even try to type anything. It works in other programs like Pocket IE, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Any ideas?

Edit: The symbol keypad works at the PocketPutty "Open New Connection" screen, just not once I am SSH'ed into my server.
