[GRASSLIST:2638] d.his-d.shadedmap manual inconsistencies

I have run into a minor (?) inconsistency in the documentation and
implementation of "d.his" between tcltkgrass and the command and
documentation available for the command.
In tcltkgrass one of the raster menu commands is for displaying a shaded
raster map. The title in the command window is "d.shadedmap." I can't find
any help or other information on this command in the manual files, or in the
doc files, nor does it seem to be listed in the help files accessed by
tcltkgrass. However, this command in tcltkgrass seems to be an alias to the
d.his. The GUI command window offers an option for saving the new map as a
file, but using that produces an error. The resulting message indicates that
the usage for "d.his" accepts three parameters for hue, intensity, and
saturation, and that "out" is not a valid parameter. In the online manual
there is no "out" parameter listed for d.his. However, in the the gzipped
PDF reference manual entry for d.his, "out" IS a valid parameter. Tcltkgrass
seems to be following the PDF documentation rather than the present
implementation of d.his.
