There are a few workable applcations that will do this for you.

One is GATEWAY, which allows the local user to see what the remote user
is up to.  Another is WABIRD, which does the same thing, but adds some
bells and whistles.  The third is DOORWAY which will allow the remote
user to run MANY applications remotely, such as WORDSTAR, LOTUS, LIST,
etc., which use direct screen writes.

Ftp users can get these on chyde.uwasa.fi (not sure if I sent them
WABIRD, however).  They can be downloaded from here (PEP speed) at
+1 206 292-9048, or I'll uuencode them and send them along.  These
are all shareware items and have enjoyed wide use in the bbs world.
