No, Izzie is clearly using csh (right, Izzie?).

That's probably true, if forwarding X over ssh actually works for you.
I have never, not once, gotten it to work. X11Forwarding is "yes" in
sshd_config on the server, I pass the "-X" option to ssh, but when I
log in:

$ xterm
Can't open display ""
$ echo $DISPLAY

$

WTF?
