[replying to another old email, but a handy hint]

have a look at g.mapsets for setting which mapsets are in the map name
search path, and also be aware of the mapname at mapset syntax which isn't
well documented outside of the books. And "g.list rast mapset=..."

i.e. you can access maps from different mapsets without switching.
For a location (change of map projection), you'd need to use the *.proj
modules to bring the map into the current location/mapset or use a
different GRASS session.
