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
