I am looking at the v.what and it may be just me, but I don't see  
that it is a replacement for d.what.vect in that d.what.vect -e  
allows the user to interactively click on a polygon and have a form  
open with that polygon's attributes visible in an editable form. If  
an attribute has not not been assigned yet (as in the case of a new  
attribute column), d.what.vect -e can be used to "fill in"  
attributes. I'm just not seeing this kind of interactive control in  
v.what. Am I missing something here?

Also the "show attribute data" button does not seem to be working for  
me. While the "show attibue colmns" butotn returns the output of  
v.info -c map=t61v1_working layer=1to the output window:

INTEGER|cat
INTEGER|id
CHARACTER|type
CHARACTER|class

The "show attribute data" button returns:
GRASS 6.1.cvs (minnesota_utm):~ > table=t61v1_working  
database=host=localhost,dbname=ts2325 driver=pg
2

It seems that the problem is the 2 at the end of the return. I get  
the expected output if I send the first part of the command from the  
command line:
GRASS 6.1.cvs (minnesota_utm):~ > db.select table=t61v1_working  
database=host=localhost,dbname=ts2325 driver=pg

Michael, this may be due to the fact that I am using pg for attibute  
management. Just thought you should know
