Subject: v.sample like old s.sample

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: GRASS 6.0.0beta1 (2005)

Greetings! 
 
i have used s.sample in GRASS 54 to take subsamples of raster data at 
predefined points of interest -- and it works perfectly!! 
 
However, in GRASS60 v.sample seems to have some troublesome required 
parameters... 
 
For example. I have a line, freshly digitized, but without any attribute 
data. I create points along this line with v.to.points. The resulting points 
have no attributes either. When trying to sample a raster along these points 
v.sample dies complaining about not being able to find a field (i think that 
it means "layer" and thus no attributes...). this is what i expected, as the 
input points vector has no attribute table. 
 
Would it be possible to add a mode to v.sample, that would simply sample a 
raster at the points in question, similar to how s.sample operated? 
 
Thanks!
