thanks alex --
I think I wasn't quite clear in my original posting. 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
