Wow, this patch is SICK. I...don't know what to say :). I'm intrigued
by it. 

Couldn't it have been done as a seperate program that communicates
through the existing remote command code (with some patching of
course)? It seems a bit much to have it in core ratpoison.

Have others played around with this?

Joshua, what sort of uses have you found for it? and...WHY did you
write it?? (not that it's a BAD thing, I'm just amazed that you did!)
