Are you saying that no graphic display at all or no Mac OS X GUI? What
I was aiming for is the Xwindows(X11) display that I see on my Mac
with its Xwindows interface on a remote pc. Years ago, I had to work
with a similar set up using SUN workstations. I am not particularly
interested having the Mac experience remotely, but it really won't be
much use to run IDL in a CLI if the windows created by the IDL app are
not seen. The screen sharing solution using VNC while workable is not
ideal since there are times I would like to be logged on and he may
want to log on remotely on his account. Unless we are both working on
the same thing, it just becomes a mess. Been there - done that when an
administrator decides to do something on the pc I am trying to do work
on - neither one gets anything done.

Regards,

PF
