m.in.e00 will do this for you.  The message you get means that you haven't
set any region at all.  This is strange, and may means that the location
is not correctly initialised...

You can try to use g.region before unsing m.in.e00 and put anything you want.
It doesn't matter. Then use m.in.e00 just with the file name.  It should work.
But after that, you have to use "g.region rast=xxx" or "g.region vect=xxx",
depending on the type of the xxx.e00 you imported (grid or arc data),
followed by d.erase, so you can see your data with d.rast or d.vect.
