[GRASS-user] Reading list of vector maps into file or array

[Hamish]

Mark:
> If I do 'g.list vect > walker.list', the list is not in one
> column and seems to be separated by tabs, with 4 columns and
> a bunch of rows of vector files.

g.mlist

> I'm building an animated GIF of the walkers over time,
> on a shaded DEM.  The method I am using is tedious and am
> seeking to automate the process.  I load all the layers
> (shaded DEM, walkers at various intervals) and turn on one
> walker vector, and output a .png from the display monitor. 
> Wash, rinse, repeat until all walkers have been captured as
> an image, then animate them with the 'convert'
> command.
