At this moment the only thing I'm missing is a better way for moving around the remote file system. I mean, in the remote environment I set a few variables that when running emacs locally would quickly let me go to directories I need to visit, that is, C-x C-f $MYVAR tab But with tramp on a remote machine all variable keep their local value and, therefore, I cannot use them to browse the remote file system. I thought that hooking a function that would somehow replace process- environment with the remote one would do the trick. Then I saw in tramp that there is already a variable named tramp-remote-process- environment, but it seems to be meant to some other purposes. Would it be there and advice on how to accomplish what I'm looking for? thanks, Rodrigo
