It's all there in the manual page for v.in.ascii.
http://grass.itc.it/grass61/manuals/html61_user/v.in.ascii.html

Use v.in.ascii like this:

cat yemenoman.txt | v.in.ascii out=yemenomanborder format=standard

using the format--

ORGANIZATION:

DIGIT NAME:
MAP NAME:
MAP DATE:
MAP SCALE:    1
OTHER INFO:
ZONE:         0
MAP THRESH:   0.000000
