subsetting a vector

[Agustin Lobo]

To select a zone of raster map in grass we just need
to define the region and then

r.mapcalc "new.map = old.map"

Is there any way to do the same with a vector?
I have a very large vector of coastlines and I'm
interested only in one particular region.

Thanks!

Agus
