 Within the tcltk-GUI it is not possible to select a map within the
 project:
 When clicking 'Add vector layer', then on the icon in the lower part of
 the
 GIS Manager (tcltk-GUI) 'vector map to display'. Within the following pop-
 up window
 there are no maps listed. With the 'g.list type=vect' command entered in
 the GIS.m window, all vector maps are listed as expected. And it is also
 possible to show the maps by entering the names of the maps in the
 'Vector map'- field in the lower part of the GIS Manager. Just selecting
 with the icon is not possible.

 Furthermore another path related problem with the tcltk-GUI:
 Using the 'Show attribute data' button within the 'GIS Manager' window the
 following command is sent to be executed:

 db.select table=veg_buffer_1_dissolve
 database=D:\daten\GISDataBase/demolocation/PERMANENT/dbf/ driver=dbf

 For this command I get the following error in the output:
  BMI-DBF driver error:
  Cannot create dbf database:
  D:datenGISDataBase/demolocation/PERMANENT/dbf/
  Unable to open database
  <D:datenGISDataBase/demolocation/PERMANENT/dbf/>
 Notice: the \ are gone!

 By correcting the command manually (backslash to slash) to:
 db.select table=veg_buffer_1_dissolve
 database=D:/daten/GISDataBase/demolocation/PERMANENT/dbf/ driver=dbf
 everything works fine.

 All was tested with the GRASS6.4.0RC3 and GRASS6.4svn-2 (OSGeo4W
 installer)
