if you are running irix 4.0.* (i.e. the x environment) this should work
for programs which just utilize X for graphics.  programs which use
gl for graphics will not show up on an x-terminal.

to verify the connection attempt to run /usr/bin/X11/xclock (a plain
vanilla x client) and see if it shows up.  it should.  if it doesn't
then something isn't setup correctly.  use echo $DISPLAY to see what
it is set to as a first step.

a program like /usr/demos/bin/insect should not show up because it is
a gl program.
