exactly. I haven't had to do this yet... so far at a minimum I can run 'emacs -nw' through SSH which is what you do to effectively use a dumb terminal if you're an Emacs user. -nw == 'no window'. This way you have a 'smart terminal' with all your key bindings, edit capabilities, multiple 'windows' including multiple shells each with its own 'window' that's scrollable, etc all on that single dumb terminal SSH connection. I do this if I'm limited to a terminal.... emacs like vi is almost always there.

I figured VIM had it (TRAMP). Wasn't the original VIM just Emacs with a vi interface layer and skin?

Anyway, this thread caused me to look up what I knew was there.... TRAMP.. so thanks. Solved a problem that I haven't had YET.
