now it works. Clicking on the edit/create button opens the i.group window.

what do you mean here, it is running in current mapset. I list my procedure,
maybe I missunderstand:

- I start GRASS in spearfish/PERMANENT
- I Import a not geocoded map (topographic map)
- I start georectifier 
- I choose mapset PERMANENT
- I choose a new group and the map I want to rectify
- When I close the i.group window following message appears, but it still works:

child process exited abnormally
child process exited abnormally
    while executing
"exec -- $cmd --ui"
    (procedure "GRMap::group" line 17)
    invoked from within
"GRMap::group"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel \#0 $cmd"
    (procedure "Button::_release" line 18)
    invoked from within
"Button::_release .grstart.mf.frame.group.a"
    (command bound to event)
and set GCPs

- Then I select the group a just created
- I select the map to rectify 
- I start to set my GCPs and rectify.
- The result is ok and in stored the current mapset PERMANENT.


BTW: Is it intended that there are two ways to use the module? 

a) I set GCPs and fill in the appropriate coordinates in the 2nd column
manually. 
b) I set GCPs and fill in the appropriate coordinates interactively opening a
second monitor with a reference map where I click in the map to find
the right coordinates. The coordinates are inserted in the rectifier then...

 Otto
