Tru64 UNIX 5.1 questions

We recently upgraded an Alpha8400 from 4.0G to 5.1. I noticed a few strange things in 5.1

1) Before upgrade

if ($?DISPLAY == 0) then
    if ($?REMOTEHOST) then
        setenv DISPLAY ${REMOTEHOST}:0
    else
        setenv DISPLAY :0
    endif
endif

in .login will correctly set $DISPLAY to remote host. Now $?REMOTEHOST is set to zero and hence this fails. How do I automatically set $DISPLAY to remote host for all csh users?

2) dxnotepad is gone. Some people use it. What is the replacement for this?

3) An auto logout feature has been introduced. Users keep losing their windows. How do I disable this feature?

thanks
