 ok, I tried again with full dir, seemed to start up ok this time.


 adding vector maps works without error, as does querying vector and raster
 maps.

 I notice trying to Query vector map (edit mode) for roads at PERMANENT
 [spearfish] gives me a pop up window error about not being able to find
 the DBF file, and if I try again I get a traceback error in the Command
 Output window. It should error-out if the map in not in the current mapset
 (perhaps at the module level?) as @othermapset should always be read-only.


 strangely the rendered map in the map display canvas became smaller while
 I was doing these tests (first just a sliver on the right, then when I hit
 the eyeball redraw button about 1/2 the canvas width). [Render [] is
 ticked] Zoom to selected map didn't help, needed to fully use the zoom
 _(+) tool.
 aaaaaaaaah, the surviving part of the map display is that which IS
 overlapped by the Layer Manager window when I change the "Comand output"
 tab to "map layers for display" then put the Map display window back on
 top. very weird. "Re-render map" doesn't help, but the pan tool does.
 Again: clicking the eyeball makes the unoverlapped part disappear. now it
 works. strange, maybe change of map (roads(vect)/elevation.10m) is part of
 it.  ??
 hmmph, oh well. something to keep an eye out for.
