[GRASS-user] graphically selecting multiple features

[Kurtis Blaikie-Birkigt]

Hello,  I'm new to GRASS, coming from an Arc* background, and often find 
that I'm approaching things from the wrong direction.  I'm using GRASS 
6.4 with the wxPython GUI.

I would like to graphically select multiple features from a large vector 
file and edit an attribute of those features.  (I have a poorly 
classified polygon shapefile of hydrology and want to separate the 
rivers from the lakes).  How can I go about this.  With v.what.vect I 
seem to be able to only edit one feature at a time.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kurt
