Hi Manuel. Apologies for the "Give me a bit of slack" remark. It was late, and I was tired. Screen works well on machine B, and after ssh'ing into machine B from machine A screen -RD displays B's Konsole on A, but Konsole on B is closed for some reason. I havn't used screen before, so perhaps this is normal. Unfortunately screen would not have worked for my original situation. I had already run apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade on machine B, and this had run to completion of the upgrades. If I had then run screen, followed by apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade, the output on Konsole would have been different, as the upgrades had already been done. Thanks all the same for the "screen" suggestion. it would be nice if there was a way to open KDE's Konsole in screen mode, rather than having to open Konsole, and type screen everytime you use it, just in case there might be some output you want to have accessable on the other machine.
