Hi Rich,

please read additional ps.map.new.html:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/gdp/html_grass5/html/ps.map.new.html
(added just now).

Radim Blazek <Radim.Blazek at dhv.cz> added new features:
- cwidth > plotted line width  =  cwidth * category                             
                           
   ( usefull for any continuous quantity parameter such         
                            as flow in rivers)                                                              
                           
- offset  > plots parallel line in offset distance                              
                           
- coffset > offset distance = coffset * category                                
                           
                    ( combination  of cwidth + coffset makes available          
                      display parameters                                                              
                       in each direction such as traffic on roads)              
                           
- lpos - position in legend (0-omit, repeated number - merge more               
                           vectors in one row)    
These options are not implemented in interactive mode yet.                      

acolor  r g b       - for plotting vector areas and
label label for map - for legend labels of vectors
