Hello GRASS-USERS,

I am using the g.region command non-interactively to create new
regions,  I g.region region=new-region to set the new window.
This is working GREAT!  I would also like to generate a report
of what is in that window, ie. category, area, sites, etc.
non-interactively.

The data I am working with is digitized Natural Resource Inventory 
vector data of an area with a possible 3 sites in each area,
and I have no need to generated a raster file of this dataset.

I have used the interactive command of v.what.vect and that gives
me all the information that I need on the screen,  I would like
to:
	goto the area label point (I can get the UTM from the 
				   dig_att file),
	find out what the GRASS category code is for the area,
	calculate the area in acres, and	
        print this information to a file.

Has anyone any ideas of a non-interactive command resulting in
the same information of v.what.vect?  Any suggestions on how to
write the shell to accomplish this task?

I am generating a table that I will pull information from to
generate the necessary support files to generate a postscript
output from mapgen.
	
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
