Another way to find out the name is to run the command (on the sgi)
who -u
and look for your userID - in the last column is the name of the machine
you're connecting from.

The setenv command tells the sgi machine where to send the output.  It
needs to know the name or the ip address of the machine that will
display the program.

Does this make sense?
