BTW: I actually briefly made my XMPP RTT do this too, until I was convinced to remove this feature because it was an unnecessary feature to most users (except niche markets). I plan to support it as a private extension, actually! In fact, it was even backwards compatible with legacy clients in that it simply retransmitted lines that were edited (once the person hit Enter, or moved cursor out of an edited line) Some useful info. Back in 1991, I wrote a collaborative text editor called SuperChatter. It was like Unix 'talk' splitscreen, but both parties could cursor through their text (up, down, left, right, insert/delete text). Like a splitscreen pico editor. But it was designed for BBS chatting. Some info is on my website at http://www.marky.com/programming/ (Yes, that's my site -- I own marky.com since 1996) Good old times! Cheers, Mark Rejhon
