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.
