[winGRASS] Problem displaying raster data on Wingrass

I have recently installed the wingrass sytem (grass5.0.0pre3) on my machine which is running win2000. I have tried to follow all the installation instuctions bt not being familiar with the whole unix like setup I might have made some mistakes.
Basically grass is working. I can create my own location and tcltkgrass is working. My problem comes when trying to create and display raster images. I had a 3 column ascii file that I managed to import into a sites list using s.in.ascii (I can disply the site data). I then tried to convert that into a raster image using s.to.rast and s.surf.rst. Both programs appear to work as they output a file. I then open a display window and try to display the raster file with d.rast. I get the following error:
  WARNING: Fail of initial read of compressed file [cape.img in user1]
  mail: not found
  WARNING: unable to open raster map [cape.img in user1]
  mail: not found
  ERROR: Not able to open cellfile for [cape.img]
  mail: not found
I thought it might be a binary read problem that I have read about in the mail archive but I can display raster images from the spearfish data set. It is only raster data sets that I create that I cannot display. I have also tried to import a tiff image and to display it but I get the same problem. 
Is anyone able to help?
