[GRASSLIST:5256] scripting v.in.ogr

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I would like to automate a process where shape files are read into 
GRASS via v.in.ogr. Currently I can issue individual commands like:

  v.in.ogr -o dsn=~/projects/wrf/shape_files/ output=polys_t59_v1 
layer=polys_t59_v1

where polys_t59_v1 is one of 30 or so different shape files that I want 
to keep as individual vectors. What I need is to replace polys_t59_v1 
with a variable that would hold each shape file temporarily while it is 
read into GRASS.

Can anyone get me started with this kind of script. In the past I've 
used:

for MAP in `g.mlist` ; do

to hold map names  that are listed, but this will not work because the 
shape files are not in GRASS yet.

Thanks,
