I'm afraid I'm lost here. You have a PC, and an X11 display server on 
VMS. You need an X-terminal from the PC to display on the X11 display 
server. What would the function of that Window be? Running DOS commands?

I know how to do the opposite: making a VMS DCL terminal window appear 
on a Windows PC, using some X11 display server software on the PC, e.g. 
xCursion or Xming. The reverse, I have no clue, neither on how nor on why.
