Thanks
You need to get the variable into the environment. In a Bourne-family
shell you do this by:
DISPLAY=localmachine:0.0
export DISPLAY
There's a special shortcut if you want it to take effect for only one
command:
DISPLAY=localmachine:0.0 command
I can't remember how to do it in csh-family shells. Perhaps it's
`setenv DISPLAY localmachine:0.0'?
(remember that `localmachine' needs to be the name or IP address of the
machine with the screen (which you're logged in from presumably).
