I meant to add to my remarks that this whole project took less than
half an hour when I became bored with the conversation in a coffee
shop... So the $5 application was selected, downloaded, configured
(for 3 systems), and used with minimal effort.
In landscape, the tiny font only displays 80 columns, but line wrap
is handled very nicely so longer lines work out OK. Also, the
terminal (VT100 including vi support) has a buffer to remember a few
screens of the session. That coupled with .jhistory makes it easy to
develop (fix bugs in) a line of j.
I think Eric's point about a personal web server is very good too,
and easy to do in the same environment that provides jconsole - well,
most such places... One of my jconsole systems is in a shell account
on a machine provided by my DSL supplier - I don't have permission to
configure a web server there, but jconsole is very handy.
If anyone is interested, the application I bought is from
http://www.zinger-soft.com/
and is published through iTunes. The author maintains a Google
discussion group which may have some good discussions (although I
haven't yet explored them...)
