Easy question/v.in.ascii

[Steve Dzurenko]

Referring to my message of 13 Jul 94 (Real easy question) and Darrell McCauley's
reply on 13 Jul 94 (Re: Real easy question), I looked at v.in.ascii and it 
appears to convert an existing map layer in ascii format to a map layer in
binary format.  What I need to do is convert an ascii text file consisting 
of lat lon in two columns to a vector map layer.  As far as I can tell from
the manual, v.in.ascii will not do this.  Does anyone know what will?
