Display variable for Graphics environment???

[Markis Landis Gardner]

At work I have this java program I am trying to work on that has buttons has
text fields and the such going to UNIX.

But, when I try to run it from home, I get the following message...
java EmailButton
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11
window
server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

I know the xterm window at work I use @D which magically supposed to say
where the output of the graphics is supposed to show...

I am using putty.exe to connect to work and I can't get any of our graphical
stuff to work.

Can anyone help?

If you don't mind please reply to my home email...

Well, often you would have to do something like:
$ export DISPLAY=myhost:0.0

except for the additional fact that you're using Putty which isn't an
X emulator. You need to install exceed or maybe VNC or something like
that to turn your home windows box into a X windows client.
