now I understand, I am only confused that I do not get any error
message when "to" is not valid map, e.g.

g.copy rast=dem_srtm at PERMANENT,dem at tempx

the current mapset is "temp", mapset "tempx" does not exist. I only
forgot that g.copy is able to copy a map only to the current mapset...

So sorry for disturbing you...

Thanks for note...
