[GRASSLIST:5574] help with setting vector category ID

[Brent Wood]

I have an ascii list of XYZ points (lat/long/depth). I have imported
them into a sites map, then converted to a vector.

I'm able to get the category description set to the depth (z) value, but
most of the GRASS vector commands only use the category ID.


The following exerpt from v.report shows the vector data structure.

Can anyone tell me how to get the # field, which I assume is the category
ID, set to the Z value for vector queries/coloring etc?


Thanks
