I got to know the GRASS modules by cutting and pasting the command line
versions from the old GRASS 5 GUI menus into a text editor diary. At
some point I needed to loop some things for 365 days, figured out how to
do this in Bash, and then nice things happened to my productivity levels.

We can do this now with d.m and gis.m (some quoting required) in GRASS 6.
