[GRASS-user] home directory for import files for grass 7.02 on linux

[Jim Maas]

Thanks for this, however it seems to work for the current session only.  
If I save the file and exit, shutting down grass completely, and then it 
start it again, it reverts to ~/.  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
J
