Will set the DISPLAY variable to the tenth screen on the localhost. 

Most of the time, I use screen 0 so the following does work in Linux:  
export DISPLAY=:0.0

On a Mac running Leopard or later you will have to detect the Display 
and then echo it out.  (This is just a generic comment for searches.)
