     Okay, when I rlogin/rsh to my HP9000/400t, I'd like to know from which
machine I originated.  The general idea is to set the DISPLAY variable such
that X applications use the display on my orignal machine.  I'd also like to
use different stty settings, since keyboards sometimes differ.

     So, does anyone have an idea on how to do this?  I thought I had worked
out a means by parsing the output of rwho, but there's a log between login time
and when rwhod actually updates the information.  Any ideas?  Thanks much in
advance.
