You are using i.points from the Imagery -> Rectify & Georeference image
group right? Not the command line or the other File->Georeference tool?

You can't type stuff into the Tcl GUI "Output" panel. You need to do it
in the Terminal window. Running i.points from the Imagery menu should
bring up a terminal window for you to work in, not a GUI with a 'Run'
button.

I'm surprised you get the "Run" button; i.points in GRASS 6.2.1 is set
up to open a terminal window and guarantee an x monitor is open, GUI or
no GUI. Trying William's 6.2.1 Mac binaries here I do get a xterm pop up
asking for the group name, as expected.


Maybe try running i.points from the command line after running "d.mon x0"
?
