d.mon is the main feature which doesn't work natively in Windows. All
d.* commands operating by generating an image file (by default, the
file map.png in the current directory). For screen display, use one of
the GUIs, or open the map.png file in a viewer which provides a quick
way to reload the current file.

Also, note that d.mon has been removed altogether in GRASS 7.
