[GRASS-user] ogr2ogr help

[mtnbiketrail at zzz.com]

Hi,
beginner user. First off, am disappointed with help files for syntax for 
ogr2ogr.
I have a shp file( with .shx, and .dbf) and want to convert it to a 
different projection. When I run ogr2ogr from command line, it doesn't 
do anything, I tried to set the debug level for more verbose and there 
is not enough information to get debug to work. I assume debug is like 
verbose. I tried --debug [on], --debug 1. Just get back usage description.

Here is the command I'm using:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -t_srs EPSG:32610 myfile.shp mynewfile.shp

it just returns the usage description help file. No errors, no way of 
knowing what is wrong. I looked online at gdal.org and it is almost 
worthless for help.
p.s. I also have "Desktop GIS" by Gary Sherman and not all the book 
examples work(pg 188).thanks,
Tom
