[GRASSLIST:4470] Re: fixes for recent problems in tcltkgrass for GRASS 5.3

[Michael Barton]

Glynn,

This seems to fix the problem. Command lines in tcltkgrass can once again
include arguments. 

I've committed this change to the CVS and made the slight related changes to
menu.tcl (restoring separate entries for building vector topology and
editing vector categories) and d.measure (making -s the default mode of
operation).

Thanks for suggesting this.

Michael
