But why not open > files on the remote server using TRAMP which comes with emacs? In my case, the answer is that editing files is only part of what I do remotely. I keep an ssh window open on the remote host anyway; it makes little sense to then use a *local* invocation of emacs to open a remote file (with the corresponding overhead of transfer protocols, mimencode and all that jazz). Conceptually, too, it's cleaner if each of my (color-coded) text windows is acting on a single host. TRAMP sounds terrific, but it seems to be meant for a different sort of workflow. Silvio
