[GRASS-user] replacement for d.mon in GRASS 7.0?

[Patrick_schirmer]

Does someone know how translate previous display commands into GRASS70, 
i.e. integrate a py-script that is called
"d.mon x1=start" (or similar) into GRASS70 doing these command:

#####start display in GRASS7.0
export GRASS_PNGFILE=map.bmp
d.erase
ximgview map.bmp &
export GRASS_PNG_MAPPED=TRUE

This would allow to run GRASS64-scripts on GRASS70 and for those you 
prefer direct output out of the script, just go on doing this as before. 
I tried to do so, but didn't manage to handle the "export" command in 
py. Maybe someone
of knows howto?
