It's written on the little plastic sign above their heads :-)  If you're on
machine G1 in the undergrad lab for instance, and are somehow running without
$DISPLAY set, you can do it yourself with:

  % setenv DISPLAY uglG1:0.0

for csh or

  $ DISPLAY=uglG1:0.0 ; export DISPLAY

for sh, for all values of G1.


If you run MacX by double-clicking on the 'CS X Settings' file, you won't
need to do this, because it will open an xterm on cs26 with $DISPLAY set
to your machine automatically after you give it your name and password.
