[GRASS-user] Write python grass program with osgeo4w

[Moskovitz, Bob]

I changed grass.py with the changes in changeset 37075.  Although I'm no longer getting any error messages, I am not able to see my script help by simply typing "m.test.py --help".  

When I try "python C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.0svn\scripts\m.test.py --help", I do see the help.  Without "--help", m.test.py doesn't start up in a gui.

What must be done to make python scripts to behave like regular grass commands?
