yes, this seems to work. now I get
(setq f "/r@scp:juliano@capefear:~/.emacs")
"/r@scp:juliano@capefear:/.emacs"
(file-name-directory f)
"/r@scp:juliano@capefear:~/"
(file-name-nondirectory f)
".emacs"
only, ssh still segfaults. I think it's because I didn't run
ssh-agent? Kai suggested that I try slm.
"/r@slm:juliano@capefear:~/.emacs TAB", it asks me for my password
slogin -l juliano capefear -- password:
I type it in, then get this error
Process *rcp/slm juliano@capefear* exited abnormally with code 128
When I type "slogin -l juliano capefear" at my bash prompt (on my PC), I
get this for the prompt
juliano@capefear's password:
Unless this is a bug that was fixed after 10/7 (I have version 1.555),
I'm stuck. But I'll try upgrading, anyway. Here's the backtrace:

(FWIW, I can't use ssh-agent yet because I still haven't updated my
cygwin dll to a more recent version. If anyone else it trying to get
ssh to work on their windows pc, ssh-agent reportedly works if you
update cygwin.dll to a recent snapshot or to the 1.0 release. Under the
B20.1 release, everything else does work, AFAIK.)

sounds fair to me. as long as it's documented.
