[GRASS5] Importing USGS DEM

[Michael Rensing]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to import DEM data from 
http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/cded1.html

The data is in USGS DEM format, and I can view it in QGis, but I can't 
import it into GRASS for analysis. I've tried the import raster command 
which runs r.in.gdal, but I can't get anything which displays in a view 
window.

Can anyone help with the required settings and parameters for bringing 
this into GRASS in a format I can use? I'm afraid I'm a bit too new to 
GRASS to figure this out on my own.

Regards,
Michael
