I frequently run programs that create X windows on my VAXstation
from other machines. The most common application of this is my
running a Xterm (or dxterm) window on a Unix box with the window
popping up on my VAXstation. The following is a typical example
of that:
$rshell/username="dh" -
fenris -
"dxterm -ls -d ''f$edit(f$getsyi(""scsnode""),""trim"")':0.0 -size 80x45"
This works fine if the COM file is run from a session which is
actually running on the workstation. However, I usually have at
least one VMS DECterm connected over DECnet from which the above
obviously would not work. Is there anyway of getting the
equivalent of the Unix shell variable DISPLAY? DECW$DISPLAY
doesn't give a very useful value in this context.
