DATABASE: A directory (folder) on disk to contain all GRASS maps and data.

LOCATION: This is the name of a geographic location. It is defined by a
          co-ordinate system and a rectangular boundary.

MAPSET:   Each GRASS session runs under a particular MAPSET. This consists
of
          a rectangular REGION and a set of maps. Every LOCATION contains at
          least a MAPSET called PERMANENT, which is readable by all
sessions.

         The REGION defaults to the entire area of the chosen LOCATION.
         You may change it later with the command: g.region
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

LOCATION:   _________________________  (enter list for a list of locations)
MAPSET:     _________________________  (or mapsets within a location)

DATABASE:
_____________________________________________________________________

.... but does not work, despite setting the right location, mapset and
database.
