I have downloaded the X11 GNU Win32 X11R6.3 Binary Libraries (b18) as well
as the MI-X server. Coolview (01/26/98) is installed and all mounts are
text=binary. For some reason X programs don't want to run giving always the
error message "Error: Can't open display:" or "Error: Can't open display:
dddd" if the program was started with -display dddd.

Try
set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
for using the local loopback (= X on the local pc screen).
For displaying remotely,
set DISPLAY=remoteaddress.edu:0.0
Are you forgeting the suffix ":0.0"?
