[GRASS5] Cut and paste of commands in new menus

[Michael Barton]

I remembered this discussion and finally got around to looking for it. 
Fortunately I had saved this email.

I've now included this in the new menu system I'm working on. You 
should be able to cut commands built by the menus and then paste them 
somewhere else (e.g., a text file to save or on the command line to 
reuse without returning to the menus).

Thanks for figuring this out. It is quite useful.
