Hi Samizdatt,

the ./testgrass.sh is only intented to test GRASS on a system level.
You may want to use

Spearfish sample data,
have a look at:

http://grass.itc.it/data.html
GRASS 5.x: SPEARFISH dataset (9.6MB size)

+ " SPEARFISH dataset related documents: "

Enjoy,

 Markus Neteler

As I perused the programming manual, I noticed that there are limitations to html's ability to render clickable points, which I can work through later, but I'd like to know if I'm on the right track in using GIS & GRASS5. Also, any links, hints or info anyone can provide to additional information would be greatly appreciated.
