Hey,
You may find it interesting to know that you can use your own emacs to edit
remote files with the help of "tramp" which comes preinstalled with emacs.
To open a file on a remote server use
C-x C-f
"/user@server:PATH_TO_FILE"
You can even tab complete to find filenames.
Cheers
Bastian

Thanks everyone for your time and helpful information on this post. I am
sorry to say that so many of your questions and comments are over my head,
so please forgive me if I don't attempt an answer
I found that I needed to invoke xterm when I ssh'd into the remote machine.
I had a basic misunderstanding of the processes I needed to accomplish
remote file editing. Originally I thought I was using the emacs that was
installed on my machine, when I edited files on a server that I was ssh' ing
to. Now I realize that when I ssh to a server, I am using a version of emacs
that has been installed on that server. Also that I need X11 on my machine
so that I can use xterm to run emacs application (from the server) in an
xterm window and with some menu driven support.
So the command is
ssh -Xf username@host xterm.
Thanks again!
Cynthia
