Cynthia,
 After reading your message, I have made a few modifications to 
d.what.vect and renamed it to v.what (just got Michael's message).  
It's not polished up yet, but for now I'll make it available to you 
via anonymous ftp:
 pasture.ecn.purdue.edu:pub/mccauley/grass/v.what.shar.Z

It works like this:
   cat file_of_coordinates | v.what map=vector_map

I haven't cleaned it up (so don't everyone install this
v.what on your system), but it should meet your current
needs.  I'll submit it to moon shortly.
