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...
