Nozhan,

   You will find that you have more control working at the console,
particularly when the wxGUI does not recognize files you want to use. The
GUI can be quite useful, but working at the console is preferred by those
who are used to working on consoles in linux, *BSD, and various unices.
Also, you can write scripts to perform repetative or complex processes and
run them from the command line. The GUI does not support this.

   Either on a 'getting started' or wiki page is a list of commands to start
grass. In your installation 'grass' and 'grass74' are synonymous. If you run
multiple versions (e.g., 7.4.x and 7.5svn) then you want to assign each to a
unique name.
