AFAIK, d.where does not allow direct interaction with the display anymore. It "just" takes screen coordinates and outputs them as map coordinates. In GRASS 6 you could get the screen coordinates by clicking on the d.mon display, but in GRASS 7 this is handled by the GUI (g.gui or d.mon wx*). In other words you chose the GUI interrogation tool and when you click on the monitor, it launches d.where and you get the coordinates. You can ask for these coordinates to be redirected to the console.<br>

I agree that the current solution is not ideal. For example, it is not straightforward how to collect the info into a file. Also: the output is not really as machine-parsing friendly as it could.<br>
