VMS Help SET, DISPLAY, Examples  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    1.$ SHOW DISPLAY
        Device:     WSA1: [super]
        Node:       0
        Transport:  LOCAL
        Server:     0
        Screen:     0

      $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ZEPHYR/EXECUTIVE_MODE
      $ SHOW DISPLAY
        Device:     WSA2:  [exec]
        Node:       ZEPHYR
        Transport:  DECNET
        Server:     0
        Screen:     0
      $ SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NL: RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK

      $ SET DISPLAY/DELETE

      $ SHOW DISPLAY
        Device:     WSA1:  [super]
        Node:       0
        Transport:  LOCAL
        Server:     0
        Screen:     0

      In this example, you are logged in to your workstation (device
      WSA1:), here referred to as node 0. (0 is the standard
      shorthand notation for representing your node.) You want to
      run the DECwindows Clock on your workstation and display it on
      another workstation, ZEPHYR.

      Assuming you are authorized to display applications on ZEPHYR,
      you redirect the application's output to ZEPHYR with the SET
      DISPLAY command. The device created on ZEPHYR is an executive-
      mode device. You enter the SHOW DISPLAY command to verify the
      location of the redirected display. You then run Clock. When
      you finish running Clock, you disable the redirected display
      by entering the SET DISPLAY/DELETE command. Finally, you
      enter the SHOW DISPLAY command to verify that any applications
      subsequently run on your node will also be displayed there.

      Note that a new workstation display device, WSA2, is created
      when you enter the SET DISPLAY/CREATE command. When you cancel
      the redirected display with the SET DISPLAY/DELETE command,
      application output is once again displayed on the workstation
      display device referred to by WSA1.

    2.$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=FLOPSY RABBIT
      $ SHOW DISPLAY RABBIT

       Device:    WSA2:  [super]
       Node:      FLOPSY
       Transport: DECNET
       Server:    0
       Screen:    0

      $ RUN/DETACHED/OUTPUT=WSA2: SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK

      $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ZEPHYR ZNODE
      $ SHOW DISPLAY ZNODE

       Device:    WSA3:  [super]
       Node:      ZEPHYR
       Transport: DECNET
       Server:    0
       Screen:    0

      $ RUN/DETACHED/OUTPUT=WSA3: SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CALENDAR

      $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$BOOKREADER
      $ SHOW DISPLAY

       Device:    WSA1:  [super]
       Node:      0
       Transport: LOCAL
       Server:    0
       Screen:    0

      In this example, you are logged in to your node (device WSA1:),
      and want to direct the output from applications to several
      workstation displays in the same session. By specifying
      different logical names in the SET DISPLAY command, you
      can redirect the output without changing the logical name
      definition for DECW$DISPLAY. This allows you to display the
      output from most applications on your default display but
      occasionally display output on another workstation. You can
      also continue to run and display applications on your node. In
      this example, Clock is displayed on node FLOPSY, Calendar is
      displayed on node ZEPHYR, and Bookreader is displayed on your
      workstation.

      Note that to run your applications with the DCL command
      RUN/DETACHED, you must use the device name that equates to the
      logical display device name you specified in the SET DISPLAY
      command. Use the SHOW DISPLAY command to obtain this device
      name.
