Joel,
You will need to set an environment variable (DISPLAY) or use the
-display argument for the X program. The value can be either:
localhost:0.0
your.host.name:0.0
On my NT machine the hostname is the name in the "Identification" tab of
the network tool in control panel.
The simpler solution is the variable, which you would set in your
.profile:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
