Sorry, I don't know can I attach screenshots here? Anyway, the window is
called 'GRASS GIS Layer Manager (Experimental Prototype)'.
I entered commands in bottom line  marker 'Cmd>'

But I can type
  d.his elevation i=elevation_shade
and
  d.vect roadsmajor
and it work prefectly. What is difference between d.his and d.barscale?
Is it documented?

Sorry? I see d.shadedmap and r.his out there, but not d.his.  Probably
r.his does the same work, but it requires more arguments.

Again, I'm reading GRASS book and trying to run commands found in the
text ( 3rd chapter in this case). It seems that
I have to use stable version but not bleeding-edge one.
