[GRASSLIST:7173] Gettting off the ground with v.surf.rst

[Thomas Colson]

this may appear to be a stupid question, but I'm having a hard time
getting the "desired" output from v.surf.rst, and I don't want to run
downstairs and bother Dr. Mitasova with such a menial question....

I have a x,y,z vector of LIDAR elevation data, and I'm trying to get a
raster elevation surface based on the z col. I've tried many different
variations of the output below, with the same errors "The number of points
being used is 3
" and so forth. I'm sure this has been done many times by someone in the
know, any chance of an example command syntax so I can get this running?
Thanks.
