 Hi,

 wingrass7 behaves in a strange way on start:
 1. It starts in a minimised window, so the user is not sure if anything
 happened after clicking the grass icon.

 2. When the (windows) user finds eventually the minimised grass window and
 makes it bigger, the cmd window (!) appears, encouraging him gently to
 "Hit RETURN to continue" (what on earth RETURN is, the user thinks).

 3. Finally Welcome window appears but no grass database can be found (when
 grass 64 and 65 have no problem with it on the same pc). Pointed to the
 path, grass crasches with the following message in cmd:
