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

[Michael Barton]

Also note that GRASS 6 and 7 now has a command console embedded in the interface. You can type d.rast there and the map will display in the display canvas. The command console also has autocompletion and command hints (type tab after a command).
