Grass 5.0b7 + NVIS2.2 = WOW!

Eric,
Set your region to encompass both quadrangles (g.region). Then, run
r.patch to patch the two DEMs together (r.patch in=dem1,dem2
out=newdem). The color table will be lifted from the first map patched.
You may have a very slight gap between the DEMs; we'll cross that bridge
later if you have that problem :)

Best regards,
	-Malcolm
