Date: 07 May 1993 00:00:01 EST

  Specify the host on which you want the X client to be displayed, then
  run the application. To specify a remote host,

      setenv DISPLAY <destination>:0

  where <destination> is the name or IP address of the remote host.  To
  specify the local host (console),

      setenv DISPLAY :0
