I did not express myself clearly. At the moment I do exactly as you 
suggest, I think. Open up a terminal window, ssh to the remote machine 
and then run emacs. This is works fine. But ...

It would be nice to work inside a windowing (GUI) version of emacs. I 
can achieve this by using X-Windows, but to be honest I don't like this 
option. X-windows can be slow, and the available fonts are, IMHO, 
difficult to read. But I have a lovely version of emacs that runs on my 
Mac. I can use this emacs on my local machine to open a SAS file stored 
on the remote machine via TRAMP. The question is, can I then actually 
submit regions of this SAS file to the SAS engine on the remote 
machine. In other words, I want to run emacs locally and submit SAS 
code remotely.
