importing DLG elevation files

[Louis Clarke]

Helena,
     Most of the editing I've done with the dig_cats file was during the 
importing of ungenerated files from Arc/Info.  What I had to do was use 
an underline character in place of any spaces.  Could you combine all 4 
attributes into one, so when you use d.what.vect you have all 4 attributes
available for viewing?

Just a thought.
