Q:  How can a NeXTstep application run windows on the Window Server of a remote  
host?

A:  Someone must be logged on to the console of the host you would like the  
windows to appear on (the "target" host).  The user that is logged on must have  
Public Window Server access on.   This gives permission for a remote host to  
establish a connection to its Window Server.  Public Window Server access is  
set through the Preferences application.  From a remote host, you can then  
launch an application and specify that the windows should appear on the target  
machine like this:

% Webster -NXHost TargetHost

In this case, Webster will launch on the remote host and the windows will show  
up on TargetHost.  "TargetHost" must be the hostname; you cannot substitute an  
internet address.  The -host option is equivalent to -NXHost.

You cannot use NXHost from a 1.0 machine to a 2.0, or vice versa.

QA35

Bear in mind that giving public window server access is a security problem.

Hope this helps.
	Michael.
