The environment variable DISPLAY does not seem to be set by epoch.

IE running 'rsh <host> epoch -display <display>' does not have DISPLAY
set in the environment.

I make use of the DISPLAY env var by a modified emacs server program
which creates the unix socket name by <homedir>/.<hostname>-<display>,
but unfortuately without the DISPLAY env var I seem to be stuck.

I was hunting around the epoch source a little and found XD_display_name,
but can not spend enough time playing (real work gets in the way) to
fully understand where I can do a Fsetenv().

Any and all help will be appreciated.

BTW, if you are interested, I could make my changes to the emacs server
strategy and my support programs available; though I'm not sure if anyone
else would find it useful.

Thanks.
