[GRASS-dev] gis.m in wingrass: using where clause in d.vect causes error :can't read "_data(.gronsole.gronsole, 9, donecmd)": no such element in array

[Michael Barton]

Here is what happens for setting the osx aqua variable.

Mac Aqua version of TclTk is used instead of x11 version

The GUI startup script, gis.m is launched with...

    "$GISBASE/scripts/gis.m" | sh &
    
Instead of with...

    "$GISBASE/scripts/gis.m" &


The variable execom is set to "spawn"; otherwise it is "execute"

I think this was used for awhile in the menu system, but can't find any use
for this now. If true, it needs to be deleted.

I'm adding Lorenzo to the CC list. He developed the aqua variable and has
worked the most with this version of TclTk.
