[GRASS-user] Newbie help - color a vector map by the value of a certain column

[Gustaf Rydevik]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my head around Grass (6.4.0) in linux for the first time,
am playing around with a vector polygon map and have reached my first
stumbleblock:
How do I color the polygons by the value of an attribute column (say
population)?  When looking in the layer manager window and clicking on
"properties" of my layer,
it looks as if you can set the color based on z height of the vector map -
but how do I tell Grass which attribute column that is Z?

Many thanks in advance,
Gustaf
