Hi,

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.110:0.0

Just change the ip adres to your workstation adres.

ok! and remember to allow connection to that display issuing
xhost client-hostname
or
xhost +
on the Xserver machine!

Hi Jeff,

# export DISPLAY=:0.0

Also insert into .profile of your interested user the following lines:

TTY=`who am i | awk '{print $2}'`
DISPLAY=`who -u | grep $TTY| awk '{print $8}'`
export DISPLAY

Any time that a PC connects to HP-UX box with that user it will pick up automatically the DISPLAY variable.

HTH.

Best regards,
