GRASS4.1 and rsh commands

[Conn Copas]

For a variety of reasons, we have been calling GRASS4.0 executables via remote
shell commands. This strategy works well for any routine which can be fully
specified through command-line arguments, but breaks down when more interaction
is required, eg, d.3d, d.where, d.what, etc. We can live with that. My question
is whether we can expect to keep doing this if we move to release 4.1, ie, are
the graphics and the executables sufficiently decoupled?
