When running Byobu, how do you split the screen when using PuTTY?
Pressing Ctrl+F2 just prints a character in the terminal.

I know this is an old question - but in case you did not get any answer....
I just started using Byobu with PuTTY, and found that I can use Ctrl+A, % to split the screen vertically and Ctrl+A, | to split the active pane horizontally.
These key commands are based on the screen program. You can find more at the screen man page.
Obviously Ctrl+A is the prefix I'm using, change that to whatever prefix you are using.
Hope this helps someone!
In my mapping, I use CtrlA to move to beginning of line, and the escape char is F12. so it becomes:
F12% to split vertically; and
F12| (pipe Shift\) to split horizontally
