[GRASSLIST:3985] Grass 5.7 vectors

[Gordon Keith]

I've used grass 5.0 before and was quite comfortable using d.vect to draw 
lines on the display.

I've started using 5.7 and now when I use d.vect I get a series of crosses at 
each point, instead of a series of lines connecting the points.

I'm aware the sites and vectors have been merged in 5.7 so I suspect I've 
imported my vectors as sites instead of vectors, but I can't find anything in 
the man pages that explains how to import as vectors instead (or convert a 
series of sites to vectors).

I've tried using the -t switch on v.in.ascii, but I still get sites.

Could someone point me to where I can find out how to import ascii to line 
vectors.

Regards
Gordon

After 9/11, Bush made two statements:

1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and 
opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."

Sounds like everything is going according to plan.
