I think you are missing my point. You've given specific and non-general alternatives to my two examples. I could come up with any number of examples and we could spend eternity playing pin-pong with them. What I'm looking for is something that threats a file argument to a command - ANY COMMAND - in a general way. With a consistent syntax. For example, the 'diff' should be able to extend to 'diff3': $ diff3 $ARG1 $ARG2 $ARG3 where ARG{123} should be any valid file name syntax. A user who knows how to use diff should be able to keep using diff. Scripts that have diff embedded in them still work even when invoked with a "user@machine:file". The whole point of FUSE is to make the transport transparent. What I'm asking for is to get around the remote mounting. -- Vizzini: INCONCEIVABLE! Inigo: You keep using that word.
