DISPLAY not set by "-display" command-line option

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 3) "Academic Rigor" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Tue Jul 10 2001 on eos.redmond.cacheflow.com configured using `configure --prefix=/home/david.karr/local' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I'm got Win2k on my desktop, and using ReflectionX to connect to a Linux system. I can run both "rxvt" and "XEmacs" through ReflectionX so they show up correctly on my desktop. However, in the rxvt shell, I can echo the value of $DISPLAY, and it shows up correctly with the IP address of my PC. However, if I echo $DISPLAY in a shell buffer in XEmacs, or even through '(getenv "DISPLAY")' in my *scratch* buffer, it just shows blank or "nil". Both "rxvt" and "XEmacs" are being run with a "-display" command-line parameter. As a result of this, it's awkward to run other X applications from the shell buffer.
