Hi There

I've just been digitizing a map using v.digit (the GUI version), and have discovered that even though I 
had certain items hidden using the symbology tab of the settings pane, those hidden items were still 
affected by mouse clicks (result: a deleted line that I now have to re-digitize).

Also, I can't find a way of turning a complete boundary ring into an area - I've looked at the tutorials 
on the web, and also the help file, but the the latest help for v.digit is poor, especially compared the 
man pages produced for older versions of GRASS which have examples and a good full explanation.

I would be happy to write an updated help page for v.digit, but I need to understand it first!

All the best, and thanks for your help
