[GRASSLIST:7534] DEM import

[s99171059 at tuks.co.za]

Dear reader

I was able to import a DEM (2527.dat), which consists of the elevation data 
between 
-25S and -26S lat, 27E and 28E, using r.in.bin.  When I tried to display the 
import, a blank display 
monitor came up.  Just to see how the display of e DEM looks, I imported the 
following ASCII grid (found in the help file):

north: 4299000.00
south: 4247000.00
east: 528000.00
west: 500000.00
rows: 10
cols: 15
null: -9999

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

It also imported without problems, but the display was a blank screen again.

How should a DEM display look, and what am I doing wrong?
