tim thanks for your reply. I tried that out but I'm getting the error "

Depending on your local environment, the display number can be any
number, not only 0.0
Just enter echo $DISPLAY on the localmachine before setting it on the
remote system.
Example:
On local machine give command xhost +
echo $DISPLAY ( which may return sth like :17.0 )
On local machine set export DISPLAY=localmachine:17.0 (where local
machine is the name or ip of your machine and shell is bash)
Then start application on remote system.
You don't have to be root.

Hey Guys,
I tried all suggested options....ie:
on local host: xhost +ssci1 <------my machine
telnet 10.20.x.x. <------remote machine
on remote machine: setenv export DISPLAY = ssci1:0.0
xterm omcr <----------- program i
wish to launch
error = "xterm bla bla" see above...and i confirmed that the display
number is 0.0

Thanks
Steve

oops - setenv or export. not both.
setenv is C-Shell, and the a.m. export command is bash. You mixed both together. What is you current shell?
