[GRASS5] 5.7 - GIS manager - zoom and pan - change term to execute in d.m.tcl

[Michael Barton]

The advantange of using term instead of run is that it pops up a separate
xterm, that is specific to that command, is uncluttered by GRASS command
line input and output, and goes away when the command is finished. However,
if this doesn't work on some systems, run will do the same thing, but in the
GRASS command line xterm.

I am OK with reverting all these commands back to run, but wonder if there
is some kind of bigger issue to be fixed for which this is the tip of a
digital iceberg?
