Ah! Ok! Now it's muuuuuch mooooooore clear!

Thanks Todd!

(just for info, I have Mathematica 5.0, that's why I didn't have those
instructions in my documentation. With that new "Using a Remote
Kernel" part it's all more clear now! It's exactly the "lacking
crucial info" I was mentioning in my last email ;-))
