I can open a window, log on to a remote HP, start IDL (Interactive

Is your device environment variable set correctly?
Can anyone help me with this?
Is it asking about the "DISPLAY" environment variable instead of the
"device" one? The DISPLAY variable tells the windows where to
display. The window could try to display on any machine. The DISPLAY
is normally an ip address or valid hostname, a colon, then a display
number, then optionally a period and screen number. For example
'myhost:0.0' or '192.168.1.2:0' .
This reminds me of a problem we got with some HP X programs when we
upgraded to OpenSSH 3.x. Search for "X11UseLocalhost" on
<http://www.atomicgears.com/papers/osshhpux.html>. The bottomline is
that you may have to add "X11UseLocalhost No" to your sshd_config on
the HP UX machine.
