Thanks to everyone who responded. Recieved many good suggestions but one

was exactly what I was looking for.

Here's how I did it.

run 'screen'.

run 'tip' to connect to remote machine.

do what you have to do.

use ctrl-a ctrl-d to detach from screen back to shell.

next person does a 'screen -r <pid.tty.host>' to re-attach the screen

session.

next person does what ever they need to do.

(a man on screen will explain all of this and more)

I already had screen installed on my workstation but if your looking for

screen you can find it at

<<ftp://nce.sun.ca/pub/freeware/SOURCES/screen-3.7.1.tar.gz>>
