The only way I have found from the various suggestions on this thread is to use VNC, so as to get machines B's Konsole showing on machine A, then it's easy apart from the 100% CPU useage when running VNC. The alternative, also quite straightforward is to use Konsoles "Save history as" option, then ssh into B from A, then retrieve the saved file using Gedit for example. This thread has been a real bundle of fun. Nigel.
