Or ... such as your *Help* buffer is shown on the other guy's display and you just sit there wondering what is Emacs waiting for. ... mostly irrelevant ..., either we wanted really close interaction, in which case "one typist, 4 eyes" worked better ... or otherwise a system based on CVS-with-frequent-commit... This is both interestng and helpful. It is good advice. It should become a standard part of some document -- perhaps in the Emacs manual in a general node on remote cooperation. The node could describe `talk-connect' (By the way, in which Texinfo file is `talk-connect' currently documented? I just looked and could not find it!) and `make-frame-on-display', for fast connections, (emacs)Multiple Displays In addition the node could describe the `emacsclient' hack, and for sufficiently fast connections, the use of VNC and maybe something such as `gnomemeeting'. -- Robert J.
