Here is some more information on Stan's setup:
He is running AT&T Unix Sys V Rel 3.2.x with a 1mb ATI Ultra Graphics Card.
He is not running X at all.  There is a driver called the vdc800 driver
which is an 8514/a compatible driver that he is trying to use.  He starts 
grass from a dumb terminal.  Then he starts the graphics driver from
the grass session window.  As Doug says he is able to display raster
and vector but d.zoom and d.label lock up on him.  

If you have any suggestions for Stan and cannot reach him by phone
I can relay mail messages via our SCS uucp network.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
