d.measure works fine finally for measuring distances (even if I don't 
get to work the command line d.measure but only the one in menu of the 
Map Display).
But I still don't have an idea about how to measure the angle between 
two of this drawn lines.
I went through the thread indicated about, but I didn't understand 
anything :-(.

Thanks for your help,
