DISPLAY is an environment variable used by X Windows to determine what physical (or virtual) display to use. This is how you can run any X application (like insight, xterm, xmtr, etc) on one machine and have it display on a monitor attached to a different workstation. >From your shell, type "echo $DISPLAY". You should see something like "localhost:0" or something. If not, set DISPLAY according to the instructions on the X man page ("man X"; look for section "DISPLAY NAMES"). Of course, the other simple test of whether or not DISPLAY is set is to run some other X application. Do other X applications work? Keith
