If you get the "Remove reclassed map first" error, you can use -f
(force) to ignore this and remove the map anyhow.

Is r.mapcalc built with readline in WinGRASS? That might interfere
with it.

More generally, the MSys console won't work with any modules which use
curses, as the version of curses used for WinGRASS is designed for use
with the Windows/MS-DOS command prompt (which is quite different from
a TTY, or an emulation of one).

Note that you can run bash from the Windows command prompt with:

	C:\MSys\1.0\bin\sh -login

(The -login switch is needed to make bash read /etc/profile,
~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, etc). You don't have to use the
(half-baked) rxvt that comes with MSys (and is run from the MSys
icon).
