The .grassrc6 file is (it should be) created automatically the first  
time you run GRASS.  I'm not sure, but it may require a successful  
location/mapset selection/creation - ie you get the main GRASS  
command prompt.

There is no need to create .grassrc6 before running GRASS.  Or to  
edit it after creation, GRASS' g.gisenv maintains it.
