for r.colors, g.list, v.in.dxf and v.in.dxf2 the commands output
'more_usage()' to stderr when G_parser() returns something < 0.
I would like to have these additional information in the xml
ui-description, but in that case some new features need
to be added to the structures carrying the interface information
for G_parser() - anyone volunteers to harmonizes this?

However, it does not distrub the parser since --interface-description
will invoke output to stdout. Hence on a bash with
r.colors --interface-specification 2>/dev/null you will see
only the xml description. The stuff from 'more_usage()' will
also have no influence when piping the xml stuff to the gui
builder.

I haven't found a problem for the other commands.

Cheers

	Jan
