[GRASS-user] FW: How to allow a file browser dialog in shell scripts

[Patton, Eric]

I'm trying to create a script to load plan ascii files as input. I'm
unfamiliar with all of the possible variations for the gisprompt
parameter structure. I want to allow the user to browse the Mapset to
load each ascii file.

While we're on the topic, can anyone explain why there are usually
several gisprompt parameters allowed for in most Grass shell scripts?
What do all these mean?

Thanks,

~ Eric.
