Rich,

here I don't need a fully-qualified path name for  m.in.e00 and v.in.shape,
I can simply specify the map name. Should be possible all over the world!

Example:

cd /home/neteler/data
ls -la linienneu.shp
-rw-r--r--   1 neteler  users     1073428 Jan 23 13:05 linienneu.shp

v.in.shape -l in=linienneu.shp
Attributes available in linienneu.shp
AOBJID
FOLIE
OBJART
AK
TEIL
POS
ART
SIG
TEXT
KLARTEXT

Works perfectly for me. If it is not working on your machine, it must
be a bug which we should fix.

Regards

 Markus
