Re: Using MicroImages X Server with x11r6 NT binaries

["David C. Hoos, Sr." <david dot c dot hoos dot sr at ada95 dot com>]

If your login shell on the remote system is tcsh or csh there is an
environment variable already set called REMOTEHOST.  Thus, you can put the
statement setenv DISPLAY $REMOTEHOST\:0.0 in your .cshrc file.

In the Bourne Shell you could put the following in your .profile file:

set DISPLAY=`w | grep $user | awk '{print $3}'`
export DISPLAY

Hope this helps,
