In VMS land, the only graphical apps are X-windows ones (unless VSI
ressurects VWS and brings back the much missed lunar lander simulator)
and character cell.

DECterm allows VMS character cell apps to be displayed on any X terminal.

Lets face it, it is more likely one will be targetting VS apps to be
displayed on a Mac or Windows desktop than have a native OS0-X app
displayed on a VMS desktop.

In the later case, you might consider VNC support which has clients on
many platforms and can display any type of graphical apps from
disfferent operating systems.
