R: [GRASS-user] List of commands available through GIS Manger (6.2/6.3)

[Michael Barton]

This is a question of usability. I don't know which is best. When I first
re-organized the menus, I wondered where to put "dabase" commands that dealt
exclusively with attribute tables linked with vectors. I originally put
under the vector heading those those that require you to specify a vector
map and put those more general database commands under the database heading.

These have become a bit mixed up of late and the relatively new v.db.select
has not yet been added.

So where do these commands make more sense?

The vector attribute ones under the vector heading? Or all under the
database heading?
