For import with s.in.ascii, the input file just has to look like:
153710 312310 32
153720 312320 33
etc.

For creating a sites file to move into the GRASS directory structure by
hand, try:
153710|312310|#32 
153720|312320|#33 
etc.

or
153710|312310|#32 @"Cat. 32"
153720|312320|#33 @"Cat. 33"
etc.

display with
d.sites
d.site.labels
