Ah, so ~C should dump you at an ssh console.  Sometimes it takes a
couple tries, but you should just have to type "~C" right in the
window and an ssh prompt should come up, that looks like this:

Then you would type -L ...

As a quick note, the ports change randomly for each instance of
reason.  If someone were to know the hostname, port, AND the UUID of
your session, they could run as you.  (Not cool. :)

It sounds like if you were able to open the GUI, you are already
there.  Have you been able to "load" any data in the window?  For
instance,

load("/path/to/your/data")

and then hitting shift-enter, to send the command?  When this is done,
it should pop up with a new item in the left hand side.

We're still working on the interface, so these comments and issues ARE
very useful, particularly if they present stumbling blocks.

Best,

Matt
