Right; just a typo on my part. (and yours, too, if you look closely. :-)
putty -ssh

See, that's just it - I don't want it to EVER "just take me right in" - I'd
really prefer it if I had to type a passphrase EACH TIME, and THEN get asked
for the remote host ID and password. An extra measure of comfort, if not
outright protection.
Ideally, if I could get it to ask for the HOST'S passphrase (so then you'd
need 2 pieces of information - the host passphrase, and a valid user ID and
password - provided by me, ahead of time), that would be cool.
And no, I'm not running pagent.

I did that - pointed it at the private key that puttygen created. I then
saved the session.
When I "load" that same session, I *don't* get asked for the passphrase of
my private key - the only thing I get is "login as" - which is putty asking
me for the remote host ID I want to log in as.
