We have most of our site files as 
705788.570298|10445.067053|#1 %-0.94

so I assume that we should run it through awk to get x y z and then use
v.in.ascii
Option 3 is good for any new data that I may have as they often come in
db tables.

If I want to run it with contour data in vector format, do I just run
v.convert ?

Writing new man pages will be a lot of work but to get others started
maybe
if you could just link the command description (just to see the flags
and options)
to the table at
http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/grass51/doc/vector/v.modules.html
or add a "mini manual" to the GRASS man page
http://grass.itc.it/gdp/html_grass5/index.html
so that people get some idea what is available before they download
GRASS5.1

In that table, you can put SG3d vector update as irrelevant -, that
module should be retired
for 5.1 (I used it for about than 10 years and loved it, but it runs
only on old SGI).

We have both 5.1 and GRASS5.0 experimental - should we just get an
update
to get the new v.surf.rst?

sorry for so many questions,

thank you
