Hi,
I'm looking for a command to display a screen or window from a Unix station to a PC (with reflection).
I think there is something with setenv display or export display but I don't know how to use it.
Thanks.

here is a script i use that may help you:
#!/bin/ksh
# xsession.sh
export DISPLAY=$TMPDISPLAY:0.0
# Variables passed to xterm
H=`uname -n | cut -c 5-12` # Set Hostname for Title bar and minimized icon
X=/usr/openwin/bin/xterm # Path to xterm program
BG=black # Background color
FG=white # Foreground color
GEO=95x45+140-40 # Set Terminal size and location on screen
IP=x.x.x.x:0.0 # IP address where session is started
# NOTES:
# -sb sets a scroll bar on the left side of the window. Press the middle button or both
# the left and right mouse buttons together to scroll.
nohup $X -g $GEO -sb -T $H -n $H -fg $FG -bg $BG -d $IP &
exit

Just change IP to the ip address of the system running reflections.
