[GRASS-dev] g.gisenv in gui

[Michael Barton]

Found another minor item that a small change could improve.

g.gisenv does not behave like other GRASS commands in that you cannot launch
the autogenerated gui by typing Œg.gisenv¹ from the command line. Instead,
you get the current environment settings. You can only get the gui if you
run it through some special processing in the GUI. Likewise, you can¹t get
it to print out current environment settings from the gui unless you do some
tricks with its execution.

To behave more Œnormally¹ it needs a ­p flag. Then...

g.gisenv -> autogenerated gui
g.gisenv ­p -> print current settings.

I suppose that this would break a bunch of scripts, but it would be nice if
it could work consistently with other commands.
