Carlos is claiming this works across machines -- something I've never seen.
And we have proven that it is correct. I posted links to explanations and how it is done. **remote control of unix mozilla** [Borrowed from the 4.x x-remote doc] «When Netscape Navigator is invoked with the -remote argument, it does not open a window, but instead connects to and controls an already-existing process. The argument to the -remote switch is an Xt action to invoke, with optional arguments.» «Remote control is implemented using X properties, so the two processes need not be running on the same machine, and need not share a file system.» -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
