What if...  you need to get access to a different Xndisplay file?  This
is my situation: We have a 370 with a TurboSRX top.  When running normal
X programs, we use the 24 planes of the TurboSRX as screen zero (:0.0) and
the overlay planes (:0.1) as another.  This would be the normal operation.
The discription of this arrangement is in X0display so x11start chooses
this file at startup.  From time to time, however, we run SDRC IDEAS programs
in the X environment (works great!), which requires that the overlay planes
be screen zero (:0.0), with the TurboSRX left for local dynamic manipulation.
To get to this different screen setup, I fire up X with x11start -- :1 to get
this second screen discription stored in X1display.

How can I perform this kind of gymnastics with the new HP login control?
