[comp.emacs] hhcp.....in emacs?

Just a wild hope on my part I know but has anyone managed to customise emacs
so it can be used to edit files on host machines that are not running Unix.
What I'm looking for is something that can do the equivalent of hhcp'ing
the file from say our Prime machine let me edit it and then hhcp it back again
with me just having to do C-x C-f , C-x C-w and the like......a dream!??


                                 Thanks     Rob...

I have no idea what hhcp might be, nor what version of Emacs you're
using...

If you use GNU Emacs and the machines in question share an IP network,
you might look into ftp-find-file.  It will do what you sound like you
want to do.  Other Emacsen may have similar features.
