XWindows Question

XWindows Question
I have a pretty basic XWindows question. I'm using Linux and the BASH shell. I want to connect to a machine that is running a Java IDE (we currently have I think "SlickEdit" but we're probably going to download Netbeans, Eclipse) and view the IDE on the client machine. I tried "xhost +" on the client machine and then telnetted to the server and did:
set DISPLAY="myMachine"
When I tried to run the IDE though it didn't display on the client machine. I guess I have a couple of questions:
1) Can you run *any* app and reset the display to a different machine or does it have to be a special "XWindows enabled" app to do so?
2) I've seen in the past where you're supposed to do:
set DISPLAY="myMachine:0"
What in the world is the colon zero for?
Thanks and sorry for the basic-ness of my questions.

platform::shell
platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4? platform::shell::generic shell platform::shell::identify shell platform::shell::platform shell _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell. This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine. While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software. COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::generic shell This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::platform shell This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell. KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
