I am getting used to the screen command for my Linux development environment and I find it to be a great tool for detaching and reattaching sessions - but that's just scratching the surface from what I see on the net. As there are many useful posts out there explaining why screen is something that you've been missing if you are working via putty, I will let them do the talking.

Not only does it give a scroll back solution, it also showed a really cool trick - you can actually do a vi type '/' and '?' search on the output of your shell till now - now that's something. Also while you are at it - do check out:

I am a newbie to screen and this is all that I have been doing:
- Open multiple putty sessions via Putty connection manager
- Foreach tabbed session I do a: $ screen -S session_name
- Code
- While leaving for the day, disconnect all sessions - I don't "exit"
- When I want to come back again - I open the tabs once again and reattach to previous session - I normally name my sessions "tab1", "tab2", etc. so reattaching is equivalent to: $screen -d -r tab1
