First suggestion - please put a subject in the subject line.  I am 
receiving mail bombs today - 4 or 5 per minute - so you are lucky I 
noticed yours as different and bothered to check the contents.

The usual way we solve this issue is to have AIPS be allowed to run on 
every one's machines - then you can start aips on your machine with Inet 
TV sockets and other machines can talk to them.  That is the most 
efficient method since expose events on the window are handled at the 
local desktop.

However, when you ssh in to the server, the $DISPLAY variable is 
probably set to tunnel back to your desktop.  The command
       aips tv=local
should cause windows to appear on your desktop driven by daemons on the 
server.

see help aips for more options related to this (e.g. multiple TVs).
