[TxMt] Using default editor on remote connections

[Jerzy Gangi]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to TextMate - I use it to develop Java applications  
and my website in an academic enviornment.  I followed directions on  
the TM website to make TM my default Cocoa Text Field editor in OS X  
(from here: http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/ 
using_textmate_from_terminal).  I press splat + ctrl + E in nearly  
any application* and I can edit the field with TM.  This is a  
fantastic feature to which I have grown addicted.

However, I find myself ssh-ing into servers around campus and I can't  
use TM to edit files in the shell (since the EDITOR variable is  
obviously local to my machine).  Is it possible in my .bash_profile  
on remote servers to open files in my local TM?  This would be great...

I'll conclude by saying that I have very little *nix knowledge, so  
please be gentle!

Thank you for your help - I've learned a lot on this list.

*Firefox text boxes don't seem to work - I presume it's not a Cocoa  
text field?
