[GRASSLIST:1302] importing soil sediment data

[Amit Keney]

Hi all

    I had scanned a hand drawn contour map (of sea bottom) and 
georeferenced it and converted into a raster DEM in GRASS. now i have 
soil composition data for that area and the data is taken from discrete 
locations.
well the file is some what in the foll. format having foll. fields 
separated by space

"station No"  "Lon"  "Lat"  "sand%"  "silt%"  "clay%"  "Classification"

well eg. data is as follows

"sk\175\72" 15.504833 96.671833 0.007707 45.507093 54.4852 "Silty clay"
"sk\175\56" 15.003 96.250833 0.009301 47.359939 52.63076 "Silty clay"
"sk\175\50" 15.2475 96.994167 0.014721 43.232689 56.75259 "Silty clay"
"sk\175\129" 12.04167 96.499 9.509982 49.775198 40.71482 "Clayey Silt"
"sk\175\108" 13.750667 97.7521 9.733366 46.020 44.24608 "Clayey Silt"
"sk\175\122" 12.504833 97.002667 94.06022 0.190377 5.749402 "Sand"
"sk\175\102" 13.997833 96.500833 94.18088 1.722768 4.096352 "Sand"

how can i import this data into grass ???

can i import this as a site data.
I want to display it over the raster bathymetry generated as above.

and please could any one tell me what possible analysis can i do with it.

actually i am new to grass and actually trying out things so that we can 
determing how useful grass can be to our department.

Thanking All in Advance
