[GRASSLIST:10531] Re:

In the new GIS Manager, the display data button will now *display* data for
whatever layer you specify in the vector panel. Unfortunately, it still will
not let you *edit* the data.

Note: if there is some industrious person out there that really wants a data
editor and the undying gratitude of the GRASS user community, it should be
possible to write one using existing GRASS db.* commands and TclTk. There
are also some TclTk libraries--not currently required for GRASS--that
support table creation and management (tablelist) and SQLite.
