Great job guys !!

Do I understand correctly that "management" does not include editing ?

Clicking on the profile tool entry in the menu I get:

How do I erase a layer which was displayed via a d.* command ?

Works great now !
Any way to change the size of a legend ?


A few more issues I came upon:

- d.vect.thematic:
	- the defaults indicated in the gui, do not seem to be included 
automatically in the resulting command string. There are things like 
'type=<required>' in the command line in the status bar. I have to 
explicitely select each of the items to make the <required> elements go 
away?
	- I get a gui error windows stating: "Execution failed: 
'd.vect.thematic map=fields at PERMANENT column=cat --q'" and a message 
"You must open a display monitor" in the terminal.

- d.vect.chart: I get a message "Type <themechart> of layer 
<bugsites at PERMANENT> is not supported yet", but it actually works 
perfectly !

That's all for today.
