On the original computer, what Operating System and version?
On the new computer, what Operating System and version?

Item 1) Standard "ksh" (ksh88) does not have "read -t". What ksh do you have?
Item 2) Please post sample values of $variable and matching error messages.


Ps: For X-Windows DISPLAY Environment Variable you should be able to detect your own IP address indirectly via an appropriate who am i command (syntax varies).
e.g. who -R am i or whatever is valid on your system and processed to extract the IP address.
Obviously this would remove the need for "read -t".
