Hi,

I did get that message multiple times, but it went away after I
changed the "GIS Data Directory" field to C:/GRASS/GIS DataBase.
Thereafter, if I select a "Project Location" and "Accessible Mapset"
and then "Enter GRASS,"  I get the message "Error setting region:
child killed: unknown signal." Then another pop-up window with a
lengthy message ("can't read "parts(w)": no such variable....")
appears. Any idea about that? I can type out the whole thing if
necessary.

Thanks,
Adam
