HELPLIB.HLB  —  SET  DISPLAY  Qualifiers  /PROXY
       /PROXY[=node] (Alpha/Integrity servers only)

    Specifies that a proxy manager application should be used to
    locate an LBX proxy server, which serves as an intermediary for
    processing client and server connections for a display device.
    Use an LBX proxy server when connecting to a remote node located
    over a low-bandwidth network connection, such as the Internet.
    The proxy manager should run on the local network. This qualifier
    is used with the /CREATE qualifier.

    When you create a display device using the SET
    DISPLAY/CREATE/PROXY command, you can use that device to connect
    to an X display server exactly the same as you would with any
    other display device. The client connects to the LBX proxy server
    returned by the proxy manager, which in turn connects to the X
    display server.

    The value of the /PROXY qualifier specifies the node on which
    the proxy manager is running. The proxy manager is responsible
    for starting or locating a proxy server to provide access to the
    X display server specified by the transport, node, and server
    values. The proxy manager returns the transport, node, and server
    values for the selected proxy server to the display device. If
    you do not specify a value for the node parameter, the default
    location is the current node.

    The /PMPORT and /PMTRANSPORT qualifiers can be used to further
    specify the proxy manager's location.
