You mean: "putty -shh MJL@hostname" and not "putty-shh MJL@hostname" right?
(just checking)
If you're running pagent and already have your passphrase added to pagent,
then it should take you right in - as putty will get the private key from
pagent.
Under the putty dialog, under the SSH node under the Connection branch,
there is a text entry box and a browse button for the particular private
key file to use for authentication - you can set this to point to your private
key, and then save it as part of the session. When I do this, and then
click on 'load' for that session, and then click on connect, it prompts
me for the passphrase - unless I've got the key loaded into pagent.
