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

[Michael Barton]

Moritz,

Look in $GISBASE/etc/d.m/d.m.tcl for the following lines

# zoom
proc Dm::zoom { } {
    
    set cmd "d.zoom"
    term $cmd

}

# pan
proc Dm::pan { } {
    
    set cmd "d.zoom -p"
    term $cmd 

}


***** Try writing them as ...

# zoom
proc Dm::zoom { } {
    
    term d.zoom

}

# pan
proc Dm::pan { } {
    
    term d.zoom -p 

}

See if this fixes the problem. If so, I can easily make a generic change to
all the buttons as they all use this format.
