Folk, Here is a case study in using ssh and vnc. After many hours of reading and tinkering, mutt running on machine H at home can be accessed via ssh from another machine M, at an arbitrary location. Of course, M runs Oberon or Aos containing ssh and vnc clients. Typically I compose a message using ET and then want to copy it into the viewer for a mailer visible in M. The mailer can be mutt viewed via ssh. Otherwise it is Web based, MailSite Express viewed with vnc. Copying with MM+MR into MailSite Express via vnc works. An attempt to MM+MR copy into mutt in the ssh viewer immediately freezes it. Yet a command such as "ls *" can be copied into the ssh viewer and executed with no difficulty. Hopefully someone with a better understanding of the protocols and softwares can explain why one method works while the other fails. Thanks, ... Peter E.
