You could set up a NFS share on a remote machine to save the files to and use a GUI editor on the local system. I'm not exactly sure how to do this so you'll need to refer to other documentation. This would have the effect of only letting you save files into a certain part of the filesystem tree. If that's not what you want, alternatively if you're connected to the remote machine via telnet you can have the window of a program show up in X windows on another machine by typing 'export DISPLAY=192.168.0.5:0 where the 192.168.0.5 is replaced with the IP address of the local machine running the X server. Then just run the program by typing 'cooledit &' for example and you get to keep working in your telnet session and the cooledit window shows up on the local system. If there are authentication problems, see 'man xhost' to add the remote machine to your local X access list.
