This question arises from a discussion about the possibility of
developing a statistical program.  Instead of writing code and
distributing it on tape to local sites, one could develop it at a
central site and have the (relatively few but intensively) interested
laboratories login remotely over the net.  Here are my questions:

1.  Is it possible to have a workstation at a remote site that displays
    multiple windows controlled by a program at the central site?

2.  Is it possible to have one or more of those windows be shared among
    two or more remote workstations?

The goal is to facilitate collaboration between statistical specialists
at the central site and investigators at the remote sites, or among
several investigators at the remote site.  Comments and references would
be very welcome.
