I've tried that, but it's really slow (especially when I'm ssh'ing over
an
analog modem connection as I sometimes do).

Good point. Maybe gnuclient should detect that it's running under an
inferior XEmacs shell and not try to attach to a TTY.
And that's basically the situation I run into...crontab -e is something I
do occasionally, but I also do Perforce and/or CVS commands in that shell
that use $EDITOR to gather comments. Yes, they have xemacs integrations, so
I can generally get by using the appropriate elisp functionality, but my
fingers don't always remember that.
