Hi,
I'd like to run emacs on my machine (XP SP2) and share the display with someone else, i.e., surfing my files on my machine while someone else on his machine also see what I am doing. Is this doable?
thx

Moheb,
This is possible on *NIX systems, or using the cygwin version of windows.
However cygwin can be a steep learning curve.
You can use make-frame-on-display to create a frame on another machine. The
buffers are shared; the remote user can see all the changes you make (and
make thier own changes). However, they can't see the minibuffer, and swapping the
current buffer aren't synced between the displays.
If you want to see all that the remote user is doing then I suggest that you start
emacs inside a kibitz or xkibitz shell. You'll have to start emacs in console mode using
emacs -nw. (x)kibitz allows any console program to have two controlling consoles -
the program isn't aware of this.
xkibitz ensures that the terminals are the same size, which will stop emacs
getting confused, kibitz doesn't do this. However, kibitz can work over a telnet or ssh
connection, xkibitz needs an X connection.
HTH,
Colin S. Miller
