First of all - I'm changing the subject so it reflects what I mean better.
Sorry for missunderstanding. Please read below.

I don't mean to store the d.m layer-command into history, only the command
invoked from GUI.

I mean this, eg.: I call v.out.ogr&, GUI pops up, I select options, execute
and the full command syntax is stored in the Grass history - like if I called
the command from CLI.

Glynn, does this change anything? Do the limitations for d.m layer commands
you described apply to Grass commands invoked from their GUIs too? Or could
they be stored in Grass history easier than d.m commands?

When talking of this - it is an annoying feature actually IMO. d.m should not
mess with main Grass terminal. Grass terminal should be left for CLI only if
possible.
