Radim Blazek offered several suggestions for solving problems I
encountered and reported in v.digit a couple days ago. Here are the
results of testing them.

Follow up on Radim's suggestion for displaying background in v.digit
Tried double quoting display command and parameters to create
background map on v.digit startup. Still doesn't work. Here is the
message received in the dialog.
v.digit map=polop_barranc bgcmd="d.rast
map=dem.studyregion.25m.shade at PERMANENT" -n
Illegal filename. character <"> not allowed.Map does not exist.
New empty map created.
Illegal filename. character <"> not allowed.WARNING: A map which is not
in the current mapset cannot be opened for
update.
sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
>>>>>>>>>>>
NOTE: <"> is considered an illegal character in this command.
NOTE2: This DOES work from the command line. i.e., if I issue this
command at the terminal prompt, it works fine. Hence, it seems to be a
TCL parsing problem.
******************************
Followup on Radim's suggestion for successfully creating a table to
accompany a new vector file in v.digit.
Tried creating the vector file and then creating an accompanying table
WITHOUT a background raster map. This worked. Then I displayed a
background raster map via the settings panel and background command tab
and tried to edit the newly created vector file. This worked too. Also
was able to create a new vector object in this context.
BUT NOTE: it is necessary to insert a carrage return after the display
command to get the background to show up.
