This is a shell programming question (I use the terms "shell" and
"programming" loosely, since you're asking about the cmd.exe shell), and
as such is off-topic for this list.
Since I'm sending this anyway, you *can* do it in bash like this:
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 ssh -X userid@myserver.com
I believe "set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 & ssh -X userid@myserver.com" will do
a similar thing in cmd.exe (not quite, but close).
