    Dunno if this'll work but...
    
    when you stick the /node qualifer in try:
    
    	/NODE=bootserver::workstation::

    To get a process to talk to your DECwindow use the -
    
       $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=<your node>/TRANS=DECNET
    
    Also make sure you allow the remote process to access your system by
    adding a definition with the Security option of the Customize menu.

|  | -dxterm -d -ls node::0.0 &
There is a bug with vms DECwindows that means you have to add your user number
(or whatever its called on unix) to the destination nodes security for some
operations; so add this and user name.

|  | Actually it's
% dxterm -ls -d node::0.0 &
The -ls means Login Shell and the -d is short for display.
You could also do a
% setenv DISPLAY node::0.0  (equiv to set display/create/node=)
and forget the -d.

|  | Remember you need to add BACK::spencer and BACK::273 into the security
option on the customise pulldown off the sesseion manager on GALVIN.
