 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 
 <em>v.net.distance</em> finds the nearast element in set <em>to</em> 
-for every element in set <em>from</em>. 
+for every point in set <em>from</em>. 
 
 <h2>NOTES</h2>
 
 These two sets are given by the respective <b>layer</b>, <b>where</b> 
 and <b>cats</b> parameters. The type of <em>to</em> features is specified 
-by <b>to_type</b> parameter and all <em>from</em> features are <em>points</em>.

 A table is linked to <b>output</b> map containing various information 
 about the relation. More specifically, the table has three columns: 
 <em>cat</em>, <em>tcat</em> and <em>dist</em> storing category of each

 Note that every line may contain more than one category value since a
 single line may be on the shortest path for more than one <em>from</em> 
 feature. And so the shortest paths can be easily obtained by querying

 The costs of arcs in forward and backward direction are specified by 
 <b>afcolumn</b> and <b>abcolumn</b> columns respectively. If 
 <b>abcolumn</b> is not given, the same cost is used in both directions.  
 
 <h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
 Find shortest path and distance from every school to the nearest hospital 
-and show path from school number one.
-<div class="code"><pre>
-v.net.distance input=city output=nearest from_where="type=school" to_where="type=hospital" afcolumn=SHAPE_LEN
-d.vect nearest cats=1

+Streets are grey lines, schools are green circles, hospitals are red 
+crosses, shortest paths are blue lines:
