USAGE
Version 2.0+ of PuTTY Plugin for Launchy will work only with v2.0+ of Launchy.

If PuTTY.exe is not in your system PATH, you will need to set the path to PuTTY 
in the options dialog.  To access the options, right click on the Launchy window 
and click "Options".  Next go to the "Plugins" tab and select "PuTTY".  You can 
customize and enable/disable many features of this plugin here.

To begin completion, type "ssh" or "putty" followed by tab or space. The plugin 
will list all of your PuTTY sessions.  After you select a session in Launchy, it 
will be launched in PuTTY.

If you want to use this plugin in portable mode you will first need PuTTY Tray 
or portaPuTTY in order to save sessions to a filesystem.  Next set the "Path to 
PuTTY" in the plugin options dialog to the RELATIVE path from the Launchy 
directory to the PuTTY executable.  Finally, enable loading sessions from the 
filesystem in the plugin options dialog.
