Thank you Markus. I realized that to use it that way I'd have to
determine what kind of file was being selected, in order to know if I
needed to call r.in.gdal or v.in.ogr. In the end it turned out to be
simpler to redo the code that calls the grass program itself, so I could
take advantage of 'grass -c file' and avoid that step. It appears to
work now, although I haven't given it much testing.

Best,

Tyler
