[GRASS-user] Runing grass inside Msys console

[Daniel Victoria]

This is exactly what happened. I have the .grassrc6 in my home dir
(grass/msys/home/<username>) but the grass63 startup script is in
grass/msys/home/C/Documents and Settings/<my_name>/grass63.

I fixed this by making a symbolic link. Did not know I could just move
the script around.
