I did it initially just to have it barely working, and hey, it doesn't even crash. But it is in strong need of being redone properly. Basically, the problem with it is calling of the external editor. Now, it works only on the master terminal, not on the slaves connecting to it. This specifically needs to be fixed, that will eliminate the terrible kludges and suddenly it will be much more usable. How to do it is left as excercice for the reader ;-). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis . To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three persons, two of them absent. .
