The "not yet implemented" error occurs if you run unknown d.* commands
(any command beginning with "d.") from the GUI's interactive prompt. 
Essentially, support for running d.* within the GUI is an ugly hack;
it "traps" a fixed set of known commands, but doesn't work for
anything else.

You should still be able to use the script from the shell, or by
adding a command layer within the GUI.
