Thanks for the answer, I think I agree with you. But I am a recent convert to 
grass (previously I used to have access to arcinfo and ArcView 3D analyst, 
i.e I worked for The university of oslo, which had a sitelicence from ESRI).

I know about r.cva, and that was my next call; but I have to compile it from 
source. And I suspect that is a more complicated task than s.kernel, which 
Glynn so elegantly showed me how to compile. I.e, that I will have to install 
grass 5x from source.
