How is that experience different than, say, using an ssh client (I use JuiceSSH) to connect to your home system? (And I connect using mosh, so the connection tends to stay up for days, if not weeks.) (I think I was expecting you to describe using termux to navigate the android filesystem, so you could use vile to edit config files and ImageMagick to manipulate your photos.) paul =---------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 68.2 degrees)
