[GRASSLIST:8184] Syntax for v.db.addcol?

[Patton, Eric]

I was wondering what syntax the program expects for this to work. I'm using
the GUI version of v.db.addcol in WinGrass 6.1 cvs-5, the Sept. 5th binary
from Cho's site. 
The program asks for the name and type for the new column to be added to the
database, but I can't seem to stumble on the correct syntax for it.
 
I've tried: 
a) Colour,VARCHAR
b) Colour"VARCHAR"
c)"Colour"VARCHAR
d)"Colour",VARCHAR
 
Any ideas?
