Motif call to get the X server display address

Hello experts,

Is there a motif call to get the address of the X display currently
being used by the motif app ?

I am spawning a java GUI application from inside the motif
application. Everything works fine if $DISPLAY is set. But when target
Xserver is specified using '-display ' option, the spawned java GUI
wont get the X display address and thus fails to start. So i need to
pass the DISPLAY in environ[] while exec'ing the java GUI.

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Pavan

Try XDisplayString(display)
This is an Xlib macro.
Still not an expert.
