Question:

When I want to run an xterm on a remote machine, I must somehow tell the
remote machine to create and run a process running xterm, with the DISPLAY
set to my workstation.  I currently do this with rsh under unix.  

It seems to me there must be a better way to do this.  What if the remote
machine were not a unix machine.  Is there a defined way under X to request
a remote machine to initiate an X program directed to a particular workstation?
