-\subsubsection{Data import and export modules}\index{GRASS!toolbox!modules}
+The GRASS Shell inside the GRASS Toolbox provides access to almost all (more
+than 300) GRASS modules in command line modus. To offer a more user
+friendly working environment, about 200 of the available GRASS modules and
+functionalities are also provided by graphical dialogs.
-In the GRASS Toolbox you find many modules to import and export data into
-the binary GRASS raster and vector format.
