  Someone please relieve some frustrtation and help me get an IBM RT running X
windows to let another machine throw up a window or two. The RT like to put
"unix:0" in the DISPLAY enviornment variable but nothing on the local can find
that. (Not too suprising!) Now, I can't find where/how to tell the RT to use
something like the machine name for DISPLAY. Ideally, it would be
"f.cs.okstate.edu:0" but I can't find any clue in the x manuals from IBM as to
how to do this. (Nor in the Sequent manuals, but I don't think they have x
capability on their console...)
