1. You must have the application in YOUR SHELL's path.  This 
    screwed me up because I'd just rcp'd my favorite .cshrc onto
    the NeXT.

2. You must be running a PUBLIC window server - click on the picture
    of the CuBE in the Preferences application, and then check beside
    (Can you guess?) Public Window Server.

Ok, after a couple bruises and gouges in my forehead (from banging it
against that neat looking black box), I got it to work.  I BELIEVE!

Now the serious questions: Where is this documented?  Is Eric psychic?
"Ommmm, Ommmm, It's the -Host option..."

Is this something that's going to be useful?  I mean, is Next going to
make available their code, so that we can run applications on the
super-mini in the basement and have them display here on my desk?

Sun is also supposedly using Display PostScript for windows; I don't
suppose there's any chance that.... Nah.
