remote reference

["Karl Eichwalder" <ke@gnu.franken.de>]

I do not understand how I can reference tables (only the first one?)
in remote files.  The manual says:

Remote references
.................

You may also reference constants, fields and ranges from a different
table, either in the current file or even in a different file.  The
syntax is

     remote(NAME-OR-ID,REF)

where NAME can be the name of a table in the current file as set by a
`#+TBLNAME: NAME' line before the table.  It can also be the ID of an
entry, even in a different file, and the reference then refers to the
first table in that entry.  REF is an absolute field or range reference
as described above for example `@3$3' or `$somename', valid in the
referenced table.

========================================================================

remote(FILENAME,REF) does not seem to work.  All the tutorials I
found are either too basic or too advanced or too general.
