In the case of s.surf.tps, there's no apparent reason why the '#' is 
needed. Other programs like s.menu (the conversion) and s.voronoi
use the silly '#' (to some extent).

I've hacked on the man page sites.format to clear things up a little.
If others want to whack at it, get it from
pasture.ecn.purdue.edu:pub/mccauley/grass/sites.format,
make whatever additions/deletions you see fit, and send
it to olga or someone (grassbug at zorro).
