How are you logging in to the VAXstation?

If you log in using the workstation monitor/keyboard/mouse, the IVP should
detect that you are on a workstation.  Try:

$ SHOW DISPLAY

to check.

If you log in via DECnet (SET HOST), via a serial line or via some TCP/IP
packages (telnet/rlogin/rsh/ssh), you may need to do something like:

$ SET DISPLAY /TRANSPORT=LOCAL /CREATE

before you run the IVP so it knows where to display stuff.
