'''Q:''' Does anyone know within the RML Message Box MB command what the X Display <display> value needs to be? <br />
<br />
'''A:''' It's the 'address' (X11-style) of the display where you want the message to appear. On a conventional single monitor setup, you would do something like <br />
this: <br />
<br />
<pre>MB :0.0 1 Hello World!</pre><br />
<br />
This would put the message on display '0' of the local system (i.e. the one that originated the message). <br />
<br />
If you have a dual-monitor setup, you could send it to the second screen by doing: <br />
<br />
<pre>MB :0.1 1 Hello World!</pre><br />
<br />
The syntax also supports sending messages to other systems, but I'll leave you to read about that yourself (see the X(7) man page). The system receiving <br />
the message (or 'X Server', in X11 parlance) must also be configured to allow the connection; see the notes in 'MESSAGE_BOX.txt' for information about <br />
that. <br />
