Yes Ted,

It worked fine for me.

I noticed that you have the grass folder in D:\. The only thing I can 
think of is the advice included in the README file 
http://moritz.homelinux.org/grass/wingrass/README, which says "You might 
want to uncomment and adapt some of the environment variables in 
grass/bin/grass63.bat, notably WINGISBASE if you did not unzip the 
package it in C:\". But off course you already took care of that.

Regards,

Luigi
