[GRASS-user] Copying from a mapset in another data directory

[Jonathan Greenberg]

This ALMOST works, except "from" needs to take the form
rastername at mapset and "to" needs the form rastername.  I can get the
"from" setup properly by appending "-m" to the gmlist call, but how do
I subsequently strip the @comet part for the "to" statement?  Thanks!

Incidentally, this would be a good feature to add to g.copy.
