Yes, that works. Thanks.


Next issue: 

after linking the resultant shape file back in with v.external, the
categories are labeled starting with 0 instead of 1. This caught me out
when doing 'd.vect cat=1-1000' and the first area was missing. (the
linked table has a "cat" column which has the original (correct) cat
number but is unused.
Is this a bug or a feature?
