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

[Michael Barton]

Moritz,

I happened to run into the behavior of the xterm opening and closing
immediately last night. It happened when I had a raster layer added in the
GIS Manager, but had forgotten to enter the name of an existing raster file
in the name box. I don't know something along this line is causing your
problem or whether it is another issue related to your build or OS. The
reason for using the term procedure is to open a separate xterm in which to
better see the mouse commands and command output.

The procedure simply calls

exec xterm -e [COMMAND NAME] [COMMAND ARGUMENTS] &

Try to use this format instead of the run procedure and see what happens. It
may also be an issue that none of the commands that you mention actually
have arguments except for pan (d.zoom -p).
