Alex,

   When I read the v.net man page it suggested that it provided distances
from node-to-node on a network map. The profile map I created is separate
from the points map, and I'm looking for the distance to the point along the
line.

   However, it occurred to me that I can get this from the r.profile output
because the points are just above the stream channel so they'll be slightly
higher in elevation than the lowest point on the profile. That's good enough
for presentation purposes.

Thanks,

Rich
