Hi Janet,

I think your command is just mixed up a little. Try:

cat gages.txt | v.in.ascii out=gages x=3 y=2 cat=1 columns='cat integer, 
y double precision, x double precision, name varchar(15)'

The backslash before columns is missing. Also the columns should be in 
correct order. And I think column 2 is y and column 3 is x.
