What I wanted to do was to be able to call up the existing emacs session into the terminal that makes the call -- that wat, for instance, if I'm ssh'ing in to do some mil, my message buffer doesn't appear on some other terminal I don't have access to. gnuclient and xemacs, as the next poster suggests, seems to be what Im lookingfor! thanks again, mtt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
