[GRASS5] Layers Clarification

[Patton, Eric]

Thanks for that very clear description, Michael, it has cleared up a few of
my own misunderstandings.

Moritz,

I want to embellish on Radim's response a bit.

<snip>

In this way,  a single vector can be linked with (i.e., one-to-one or
many-to-one) multiple attribute tables, *IF* you have defined multiple
layers. But ONE layer, can only be joined with ONE attribute table.

I find this a very useful feature, but agree with Trevor that it needs
to be
documented better. I wrote up something on the GRASS WIKI that could be
added to the docs but I haven't had time to do it yet.

I hope this helps.

Michael
