Although I've never tried working this way, I'm pretty sure it would break some of the JDEE's features. A better bet would be to run X Servers on the PCs that would allow the PC users to start instances of Emacs on the Unix server that could then display on the PC in a full window that supports all JDEE features. You could use the server to maintain a shared source code repository from which developers created their own sandboxes on their PCs. I am copying this reply to the JDE mailing list' in the hopes that other JDE developers who have had more experience developing web server apps can give you some advice. Paul
