Feel free to submit bug reports about any unclear documentation,
explaining what part(s) confused you.

You can type 'l' (for "last"), or use the left arrow button on the
tool bar, or click on "Info" in the menu bar and select "Back in
History", or click on Info->History and select any node you visited at
random.

You mean in general, or this specific feature description?

I don't really know what you are after, exactly: you never described
that in enough detail. The features I pointed to allow one to use
emacsclient to access remote machines in several different use cases,
and I hoped one of them is yours.

When you invoke emacsclient, you usually ask it to visit a file,
right?

It depends on the direction from which you look at the connection.
Files local to the remote host are remote files for you when you sit
at the other end.

Now I'm confused: which terminal would you like the remote Emacs to
access, and how is that relevant to your original question?
