   IRIX arena's don't particularly like working across NFS mounted
   filesystems.  There are possible data syncronization problems since
   it takes much longer to get the data to disk.  See the man page for
   usinit(3P) ( about the middle of the page ) for more information.

   One thing you might try.  If the other machine in the picture is also
   an SGI with explorer installed on it, you could set your DISPLAY 
   environment variable to you local machine, and run explorer on the
   other machine, with your data sets NFS mounted.  Just a thought.

Thanx,
Dave
