xgrass (users sharing data)

[Melissa Records]

What you need to do is to update what mapsets are in your search path.

Using xgrass, click on Map Management, then on Access, then on Set 
Mapset Search Path. 

Once the Path screen comes up, add or delete mapsets from your search
path choosing from the list of available mapsets 

When you have another user's mapset in your search path, you can then
use GRASS commands to display, copy, and use the data layers from that
user's mapset.  You will not be able to make changes in the files 
from other mapsets because you don't own these mapsets.
