- I'll assume you can make it to the point where you are running X11 on
- your local machine, have connected using "term" to the remote machine,
- and can type "trsh" and get a session on the remote machine. You then
- just type "txconn", will give you a screen address. You then type
- "setenv DISPLAY <machine>:<screen#>" where <machine> is the name of
- the <remote> machine, and <screen#> is the screen number that txconn
- gives you (typically a "9"). From there, stuff like "xterm &" works
- like magic :-) (I've successfully run stuff ranging from xarchie,
- xneko (cat moves in slow-motion :-) ), xeyes, ghostview, emacs,
- meltdown, xv, and tonnes of xterms.)
