[GRASS-user] GRASS GIS 5.4.1 released

[Jan Hartmann]

The reason I am still using 5.4 is that digitizing is much easier than 
in 6, once you get the hang of it. So, for all analyses I use 6, but for 
digitizing I use 5.4 with two terminals: a big graphical one for map 
display, and a small alphanumeric one for typing in the 
one-letter-commands (e.g. Z for Zoom). Really much faster than clicking 
on icons. You have to learn all those commands of course, but it really 
is worth the trouble. How difficult would it be to implement that 
functionality in version 6, next to the click-interface?
