Comment (by hamish):

 Replying to [comment:4 hellik]:
 > I'm always starting grass65 from MSYS-console by
 /osgeo4w/apps/grass/bin/grass65 -wxpython.

 hint- put this in ~/.bashrc:
 {{{
 alias grass_wx='/osgeo4w/apps/grass/bin/grass65 -wxpython'
 }}}

 much less typing.

 > "echo $GRASS_HTML_BROWSER" in the MSYS-console:
 > sh: echo C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe:
 > No such file or directory

 (without the "quotes")

 but if everything is working for you, not problem. just wondering
 about the 'C;' at the start of the browser path.


 > how can i start grass65 in the dos-box?

 The OSGeo4W does this - see the OSGeo4W installer/wiki site/osgeo4w grass
 buglist. It is explained there much better than I know it.
