It is planned to separate as much as possible the choice of output device
from the description file language.  So you might say 

if $sender =~ "*.root" then set $display "X -geometry +0+0" else
			    set $display "tty" 
endif

to set up the  output device, and later use a single command to  produce
the output for either X or tty (output to a device that doesn't support
the graphic request you make will be made as close as possible [using
termcap in tty mode to produce a reasonable form of highlighting]).
