Thanks to quick responses from:
"Dave Golden" <golden_at_falcon.invincible.com>
kliebert_at_kgo.csc.com (Karl D Liebert)
elalan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com
thomas_at_lkg.dec.com
and the rest of managers whose e-mail I have not received yet.
The solution was to use "setenv DISPLAY nodename::0.0
Cheers to all,
Kevin

I seem to recall that this is described on one of the "X" manpages.
Try setenv DISPLAY node::0.0
I think the transport layer knows how to deal with the DECnet "::"
convention.

using "setenv DISPLAY decnet_node_name" does not work and
gives me the error "Can not open display".
I do believe you need a ":0" at the end of the display name.
setenv DISPLAY decnet_node_name:0
I think that the display is numbered like this in case
a machine has more than one display atteched to it. If
there is a more complicated problem with dec net then
you've exceeded the depth of my knowledge.
Later,

There's two parts:
setenv DISPLAY decnet::display.screen (usually 0.0)
and then you have to get the VMS system to allow
the incoming X protocol requests. I think that
DECnet ships out authentication information by
UID instead of name, so you have to take that
into account for the security stuff on the VMS
side. There may also be startup parameters for
the X server that control whether remote connections
are allowed at all.
