Ah, I recently updated to wxpython 2.8.11.

That seems to work, for ghelp.py, though there appear to be many instances of this usage that would have to be changed.

Well, in the past (and in GRASS 6.x) for OSX, I ignored the grassXX startup script and use a custom one, which ran the init.sh.  It set GISBASE dynamically, from the path the script is in, and init.sh respected that.  But now that grassXX IS init.sh, I have to install that, and yes I do change it to the correct GISBASE path.  I just didn't notice until now that it overrides any GISBASE setting already in the environment.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
