Hi Rai,<br>1. You have to check the edit box in the Display manager (DM).<br> Then you can simple enter the attribute from Key board.<br>User permissions of Linux also my come in the way. See that you have<br>permission to write on the file.<br>2. You second DB related proble is not clear Pl.<br>You can goto the dataset and open the *.dbf files in open office too<br>for any modification. This is acceptable to GRASS.<br>Cheers<br>Ravi Kumar<br><br><b><i>Hardeep Singh Rai <hardeep@eml.cc></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I am trying to learn GRASS using spearfish data.<br><br>On using "d.what.vect -e map=roads" and after clicking on map, it<br>display information, but, I am not able to edit category number in that.<br>Manual says that -e option will open form in edit mode.
