Thanks for the help Les. I don't know if I want to mess with the email in case 
I screw it all up, and besides that I have more than 14 distros that run on 
machine B, so that setting up the sending of email from machine A to machine 
B  may well be overkill. it's probably best to take the easy option, and use 
the "save history as" option in KDE's Konsole, then ssh into B from A, and 
retrieve the saved history file using Gedit for example. this seems to work 
ok, and not many steps are involved in doing this.

I also tried using screen on machine B.  Typing dmesg in Konsole gives me the 
whole output of dmesg, but typing screen first, to open a screen, then typing 
dmesg only gives me the last 23 lines of dmesg which isn't much use if what 
you are looking for is earlier on in dmesg, and I didn't see anything in 
screens man page to see how to workaround this. Screen -h <num>, where I set 
<num> to 10000 did not make any difference. I still only got the last 23 
lines.

Anyway thats for another day.

Thanks for the reply.

Nigel.
