	Hello Jeremy,

	You have two things to do :

	. Set your display as the DECSTATION name oe IP number 
	(witch is really your display, It would be the X-terminal if you 
	work on a X-terminal ...) 
	setenv DISPLAY <IPnbr>:0.0    or     setenv DISPLAY <name>:0.0


	. On the DECSTATION (a Decterm open'd directly from your session
	manager for example) authorize your alpha to display on the
	DECSTATION (I think on ULTRIX a thing like  "xhost  +  <host>"),
	Just "xhost +" enables any host to display on your screen.
	(on VMS machines you do this over the "option" "security" menu
	from the session manager)

	. To see if it's Ok, you can run for example the "xclock" of
	your Alpha or any other Xtool

		Hope it help you,
