Rob,

I have to let others handle your questions, but I do want to point out
that the tutorial you downloaded is a grass v.4 tutorial.  It doesn't work
correctly under version 5 mostly because the two versions treat the value
"0" differently.

My assistant ran that tutorial as her first introduction to grass.  It
didn't work right and that failure probably forever colored her opinion of
grass.
