[GRASS5] ps.map problem resolved

[Michael Ash]

Radim's suggestion indeed resolved the problem.  From the
cygwin command line, I ran

tr -d '\015' < oldmapinstructions > newmapinstructions

and newmapinstructions ran with a problem as the input to ps.map

Thank you very much.

(I remain puzzled why the "size 1" line did NOT cause a
problem, only the "color red" line.)

Best,

Michael Ash
