v.import/v.in.dlg omission of point elevations

[Teresa Hansen]

If you use the `matt=______` option on the command line with v.in.dlg then 
a second file - a multiple attributes file - is created.  This should have 
the the elevation data.  It will also have other data (minor and major codes) 
and you will have to use awk or some manual editing to get the attributes in 
the format needed by GRASS' dig_att file.   I recently went throught this 
process myself.
