 Replying to [ticket:637 marmai]:
 > Within the tcltk-GUI it is not possible to select a map within

 > 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

 > Just selecting with the icon is not possible.

 confirmed with the latest wingrass installer (Colin's stand alone version
 is much newer than the current osgeo4w build)

 this is a close relative of bug #593.

 everything works fine.

 this is slightly different, but probably a close relative of error seen in

 > All was tested with the GRASS6.4.0RC3 and GRASS6.4svn-2

 please could you try with the latest stand-alone installer?
 a lot has been fixed there.
 (you can have both installed without conflicts)
