Works just fine with EDT and Putty.

Here I did SHO SYS, picked up my LOGIN.COM file in EDT,
switched to full screen, did quit from EDT and finaly
just scrolled back my screen session in Putty.

The PACK11_PLC process was the last line from SHO SYS before
EDT was started. It is still there in the scroll-back buffer
after exiting EDT.
