[GRASS-user] Deleting Project Locations

[William Kyngesburye]

Yes, it will remember the last location you had open, and give you  
this "error".  But it should be harmless, and after picking a new or  
existing location to open you shouldn't get the error the next time.

Is GRASS not starting after getting this error?  Do you not get the  
open/create location screen?
