[GRASSLIST:10176] Re: new user... (importing and displaying .hgt files) and list communication

[Graham Watt-Gremm]

Hi there,
Did you try to set the region to the file after importing it?  
(r.in.gdal input=... output=map; g.region rast=map).  That could be  
the problem...

By the way, giving the list an informative subject line (i.e.  
importing and displaying .hgt files) and printing the commands you  
used could help get quicker response, help us assess your problem and  
will help future users as they browse/search the list archives. If  
you suspect a problem/bug with your distribution, reporting the date  
of the cvs, your machine architecture and operating system, and any  
error messages you receive is all quite helpful too.

For the rest of the list, what do you think of adopting a posting  
guide to help us all communicate efficiently - Perhaps like R's  
"Posting Guide: How to ask good questions that prompt useful  
answers" (http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html) which is  
linked from the bottom of every list message?
