Beautiful :))  At the moment I still feel that that ssh syntax is
perfectly opaque, and that the manpage doesn't help .. I'll continue
to strive for enlightenment.

I also tried:

  ssh -L 8888:blommie:8800 remote.co.za

(the name of the local machine is 'blommie') but this got me::

 dav:!> open blommie:8888
 Looking up hostname... Connecting to server... Could not connect to remote
host.

i.e. nothing doing on blommie; however 'localhost' connects (this was
strange to me -- why would blommie be unknown, and not localhost?)::

 dav:!> open localhost:8888
 Looking up hostname... Connecting to server... connected.
 Could not contact server:
 Could not read status line: connection was closed by server.

but is immediately refused::

 [jean@remote jean]$ channel 2: open failed: administratively prohibited:
open failed
