hi lars

i don't know a solution with rsh for your problem
> rsh remotehost "export DISPLAY=localhost:0 ; idl"

but:
1) the problem is that rsh does no allocation of a tty.

2) with secure login it's no problem:
ssh -t remotehost idl (ssh set your display automatically)

so convince your sysmanagers to install ssh (version 1 not 2, the
version 2 is very buggy) ...

3) other possibility:
run your idl-program on the remotehost via a file:

make a file myprog.test:
cat > myprog.test <<EOF
print,"hello"
xloadct
wait,3
exit
EOF

then run idl by typing
rsh remotehost "export DISPLAY=localhost:0 ; idl myprog.test"

i hope this helps you a little bit
