I run X11R4 on a sun 3/80. Also, I run some Xclients on a Sparc server by
rlogin to the sparc machine. My home directories are mounted on both the
Sun 3/80 and the sparc machine.

My .cshrc file has : setenv DISPLAY localhost:0

However, when I rlogin to the sparc server, the same .cshrc file gets
executed and DISPLAY is set to localhost:0. When I am on the sparc
server, my .cshrc file should set DISPLAY to <internet addr of sun3/80>:0

Is there a way (say by executing a program) to inquire the sparc machine
where Iam rlogged from ,so that I can set the DISPLAY variable
to the internet address of the machine from which I rlogged automatically.

Right now, I type in the setenv DISPLAY <internet addr of sun 3/80>:0
manually after the rlogin window comes up.
