Thanks, Tony. I'm looking at it, because I'd like to have a better
understanding of how this stuff works. In the meantime, thanks to
everyone who pointed me at ssh. I was stunned to see that I can do
at least the limited stuff I asked about simply by executing

	luke at A $ ssh -X -C B
	luke at B $ gmp3enc

That's spiffy keen. Thanks, all you geniuses.
