Setting my NeXT to "Public Window Server" allows me to rlogin to another
NeXT on which I have an account and launch applications using -NXHost.  But
how can I launch a Window Manager (and get a full screen with my dock etc. but
running on the remote)?  In other words, can I "seamlessly integrate" (as the
felicitous phrase has it) two NeXTs so I see on my screen EXACTLY what I
would see if I were sitting at the remote's screen?

I looked for a file associated with the Window Manager (upper right icon,
launched on login) without success, but found the others (e.g., WriteNow is
in /NextApps/WriteNow.app/WriteNow).

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks,

P.S.  What does the "Public" in "Public Window Server" mean?
