Markus,

   Thank you. I've known of screen for a long time but never used it before
now.

   Can I create new mapsets in the same location from the command line? If
so, I suppose what I want to do is initiate two screen sessions, each
running v.in.ogr with a different source .e00 file and writing the output to
a different mapset.

   Yes, I've read the book (still 2nd ed.), but haven't used GRASS for years
before these past couple of weeks.

Much appreciated,

Rich
