Trishan,

Perhaps we should say something about this tomorrow night.  I've been
ssh'ing in and Jon Damon has been mostly working from the lab, using
Kwrite, or some other GUI editor.  Right?

Can you describe our GUI interface to Linux for them. We can go over
this tomorrow night at the meeting.

Thanks,
