DXF files from ARC/INFO

[ts1 4350]

Hello Grassers,

I've been importing an Arc/Info DXF file into GRASS. I'm under the impression that text
from the Arc/Info coverage can be imported into GRASS.  When I convert the file into
a GRASS vector using 'v.in.dxf,' all I get are the "boxes" that surround the text.

Well, I'm not too interested in "boxes."  I would like to see the text! Can this be done?
The text is in the Arc/Info dxf file...it can be viewed. The program v.cadlabel is returning
an error message saying "Textfile line 999 NOT labelled" - is this significant?

Any ideas folks?

THANKS!
