converting .SIT grass vector files

[Kevin Kingdon]

Hi,
We are using a GPS system to make UTM co-ordinate measurements of a site. 
The software which comes with the GPS system is able to output it's data 
in what it calls a grass vector format. These files have a .SIT extension 
on them. How can this format be imported into grass? (the software is now 
2 or 3 years old). If this data could be imported directly into grass it 
would be extremely helpful to our project.

I have also had problems setting up a new geographic region. I am using 
xgrass and I tried the modify default region command from the pulldown 
menu but was not able to save changes to the region that i created. I 
also tried using the g.region command within the grass shell but was also 
unsuccessful with this command. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
