[GRASSLIST:2638] d.his-d.shadedmap manual inconsistencies

I have run into a minor (?) inconsistency in the documentation and 
implementation of "d.his" between tcltkgrass and the command and 
documentation available for the command.

In tcltkgrass one of the raster menu commands is for displaying a shaded 
raster map.  The title in the command window is "d.shadedmap."  I can't find 
any help or other information on this command in the manual files, or in the 
doc files, nor does it seem to be listed in the help files accessed by 
tcltkgrass.  However, this command in tcltkgrass seems to be an alias to the  
d.his.  The GUI command window offers an option for saving the new map as a 
file, but using that produces an error.  The resulting message indicates that 
the usage for "d.his" accepts three parameters for hue, intensity, and 
saturation, and that "out" is not a valid parameter.  In the online manual 
there is no "out" parameter listed for d.his.  However, in the the gzipped 
PDF reference manual entry for d.his, "out" IS a valid parameter.  Tcltkgrass 
seems to be following the PDF documentation rather than the present 
implementation of d.his.
