Greetings,
I am having trouble getting going using Grass! I have loaded Cygwin, xorg-x11, Grass 6.3 and  NC data from www.grassbook.org website.
After getting to the main menu showing GIS Data Directory, Project Location and Mapsets, I click on any the Mapsets and then "Enter Grass", I get this funny old map showing up in the middle of my screen which I can get rid of on less I get completely out of Grass! Also what shows up a window "Output - GIS.m" with nothing in it! I believe I have load the data correctly! So I am complete lost at this point? Help is needed! Thanks!
Regards,
Paul Raymond
