Re: slightly off topic: remotely displaying Mac OS X applications

["Jonathan Kallay" <yoni@kallay.net>]

 I changed the display variable with the command "setenv DISPLAY
 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0" (OS X's tcsh doesn't use set/export commands).  I
added
 the host to the list of allowed hosts by running xhost.  I've successfully
 launched remote applications on another computer that have appeared on my
 screen, so the steps should be the right ones...
