GRASS 6.3.1svn (msunduzi_lo31):~/GIS/scripts/grass-complete > . bash/Init.sh

BASH_VERSION= 3.2.25(1)-release (needed = 2.05)

Thanks for the info, I needed to check my facts before announcing that
tapping out long map names in the GRASS console is a pain, especially
when you have to do it three times to combine the rgb bands.
