I finally managed to get GRASS started and running.  My next task is to
import a few Arc/Info coverages to form the basemap for a project.
However, whenever I try anything like
         m.in.e00 help
I get the message
          ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set
with no explanation of what is causing that error.  I have GISDBASE,
LOCATION_NANE, and MAPSET environment variables set before starting and
I've set them in the setup menu, those were needed to even start.  Yet
no GRASS programs can find there variables.

I have since tried creating the outline of Location from the startup,
but it complained about some part of the Location creation, again about
LOCATION_NAME not being set.  I have not been able to get any
information out of g.gisenv and have looked through several manuals and
not found any useful information about this problem.

I am running precompiled grass4.3 on a Linux system.
