ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) ______________________________________________________________________ Concept: Use of ce from a remote host. DESCRIPTION: Since ARPUS/ce is based on the X Window System standard, it exploits the DISPLAY environment variable just as most other X Window System applications do. To ease the process of connecting a remote ce session to the local display, you can use the environment variable CEHOST (defined by ce automatically) along with the following key definition to cause remote ce sessions to display on the local node. The instructions here assume that you connected to the remote system from a ceterm session on the local host via telnet or rlogin. Add the following key definition to your .Cekeys file. (First check to see if the definition is already there ... it may have been added automatically by the ce installation process). The key definition must appear on a single line even though in the text below it appears on multiple lines. kd *h env CEHOST;tdmo;tl;/=/;ar;dr;tr;xc -l host; ti;tl;xd -l junk;es 'DISPLAY=';xp host;tr; es ';export DISPLAY';en ke NOTE: If "-autovt yes" is being used in Ce release 2.2, the key definition for telnet should be as below so it works in vt100 mode. Again, the key definition needs to be on a single line. kd *F1 env CEHOST;tdmo;tl;/=/;ar;dr;tr;xc -l host;tmw; es 'DISPLAY=';xp host;es ';export DISPLAY';er 0d ke Once this key definition is in effect, you can telnet to a remote host from within a ceterm window, press <mod1>-h (usually Alt-h), and observe that environment variable assignment statement is inserted into the ceterm's input pad and executed. Notice that the statement is an assignment to DISPLAY which gives DISPLAY the name of the host from which the telnet command was executed. Now instead of having to type 'ce -display my_host:0.0 my_file', you simply need to type 'ce my_file', and the local display will be used. You may have to make slight changes to the above key definition if you are using a command shell other than the Korn shell or Bourne shell.
