Hi Rich,

out of curiosity, why is screen useful in this case? What other/ more
advantages using screen are there?

Silly thought: if it's just to be able to continue using GRASS why not
create an extra mapset, import there, continue working in your "default"
mapset and copy later the imported data wherever you like to.
