[GRASS-user] newbie question

[Peter Manousos]

Hi..

We have a set of lat/lon contour data we converted into ESRI shape 
file(s).  I am using GRASS to verify the data has been converted 
properly for GIS use by importing/converting the shape file data using 
v.in.shape.  I am then plotting the resultant vector map using d.vect

Although the contours are successfully plotted - the contour labels are 
not.

I do not see in the documentation how plotting of contour labels is 
accomplished from a vector map.  I thought the vector attributes where 
automatically handled if properly stored in the original .dbf file.

What am I missing ?
