Thanks, I received a message from Susan Huse.  She said that I can modify
my input vector file and turn off the labels on the lines.  In this way,
when I run the v.in.rast command, lines will be ignored.  I will like to
play with r.mapcalc.  It sounds very similar to ARC INFO grid algebra 
that
I enjoyed working with.
