[GRASSLIST:7694] g.mapset OR g.gisenv (GUI wishlist discussion)

[Dave Sampson]

having posted a wish to be able to move between mapsets and locations 
without closing out of GRASS I was given two options from two people 
(ref bug#3456).

One was g.mapset and the other is g.gisenv. Some questions.

1. What is the difference between the two
2. Can a button be built in to show ALL mapsets and coresponsing 
locations for either or both of these. This could enhance the gui
3. It appears that g.mapset creates only a NEW location. How do you 
access a created location that is not current.
4. for g.gisenv is it possible to provide options of what variables are 
possible to change? eg dataset, mapset, location and have these 
accesible through a button.
5. could someone provide an example of how I might COMPLETELY move from 
one location and mapset to a new location with a mapset of the same name.
6. Is thera followup wish I should post?

Again, I'm looking at this function from a users point of view. I'm sure 
I will learn when I get the hang of it.
