It would be nice to be able to code simultaneously and see each others changes in something like real time. I've googled everywhere and found only information on how emacs handles locks.. I'd like both he and I to be able to edit the same file and see each others changes as close to instantaneously as possible. The sky is the limit with emacs, so I'm sure there's a way to do this, I'm just in need of some direction as to how to do it, or even what words to google. It would be very nice to have a shell open in one buffer to chat with the other person editing the file, and then the file we're both editing open in another.. Thanks in advance, -regards, Matt
