You need to use a package like Exceed on your PC - in order to do X on your PC...

Then, after connecting to HP-UX:

export DISPLAY=yourpcdnsname:0.0

Something you can put in your profile.

export DISPLAY=`who -um | awk '{print $NF}'`:0

This will allow you to always have an export DISPLAY env variable. You may also want to include

xhost +

If you have a Xwindows client on your pc you could connect directly using that. There are lots of 3rd Party software. Exceed is just one of them. Ofcourse after that we would need the Xclient authorized to connect to the Xserver (use xhost + client hostname).
