[GRASS-user] Why v.out.ascii doesn't work?

[Thomas.Adams at noaa.gov]

Wolf,

I have experienced the same result as Kenneth with trying to use v.out.ascii to export point 
data. Is this 
*expected* behavior or a bug? I appreciate your suggestion and have resorted to something 
similar myself as a 
work-around.
