[GRASSLIST:221] Importing Tiger Data with v.in.ogr

[J. Brian Adams]

I would like to create vector maps from Tiger Data.  Some of these  
are lines (Roads, Streams, ...) and some are areas (Census Block, Zip  
Codes, ...)  I have tried to use v.in. ogr but I seem to be missing  
something in the process.  What I get is a map of all of the vector  
lines, but I am not seeing how to differentiate specific attributes.   
Is there a tutorial or explanation on using v.in.ogr with Tiger?
