DLG labelling

[Peter P. Petri]

Greetings...

I have imported a DLG-hypsography file using v.import.  I am wondering 
how I assign the elevation values to the geometry, for when I display and 
alter the colors, the color values affect only the category number (line 
number) and not the elevation values.

I have moved the multiple attribute file into the dig_cats directory 
under my mapset within my location.  The problem is that the major and 
minor codes data is included within the category and thus, adds needless 
data to the category.  I am interested only in the elevations.  

I have read the very brief treatment on labelling contours in the digit 
tutorial but this seems to be a tremendous task in light of doing this 
for a number of quads.

Perhaps I am missing something in my understanding of the task.  Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
