There is no real "shell" for the native Wingrass version (unlike for the
Cygwin version), so at first I was stumped at how to call scripts that are
not in the file menus.Then I remebered that you could directly run grass
scripts by typing commands into the prompt at the bottom of the Output
window. It definately works in Windows (obviously installing mysys is still
a prerequisite), butI have not yet attempted to call a script that is not in
the standard scripts directory. I imagine that as long as the path is
specified, you could execute any script you want in this way, so you should
try to run v.type.sh this way. BTW, I am assuming that you  originally tried
running it from the command prompt, but correct me if I am wrong.

cheers
