Hi Andreas,

 please feed this into the RT, area "wish" (you can select that)
when directly posting in RT.

Yes, parser functionality would be nice. However, you could simply

 r.mapcalc MASK="some formula"
or
 g.rename mymap,MASK

(I guess you know that, so I am telling this to some others here :-).

However, please add the r.mask issue to RT, too.

Thanks,

 Markus
