That seems just perfect!  However I must ask if you have used M-x term
in order to get a tty?  You could have really tormented your friend:

  M-x term
  sudo emacs /etc/fstab

Just remember to prefix every keystroke appropriately.  As a hint it
is easy to switch term mode into line mode with C-c C-j and back to
character mode with C-c C-k.

And then you can always do that again without a hard limit on the
number of nestings.  Until you run out of vertical terminal lines!
