[GRASS5] 4 more questions about d.vect for improving GIS Manager

[Michael Barton]

Hamish and Radim,

OK, I see what you mean now. I think this is a relatively new addition,
which may explain my confusion.

I just checked to see if the tcltk form mode for d.what.vect works yet on a
Mac and it doesn't. You still have to output to terminal.

Now that I understand why this has been added, I agree that it is necessary
to keep both flags. I'll add a bit of explanation to the vector panel to
make this clearer.

Michael
