It's very stange!
Does he installed grass in a directory without spaces?

Grass crashes with every command?
Does run(gui) work?

He is opening GRASS from MSYS using the MSYS shortcut in the GRASS program
group in the start menu. On my system, this opens a black window with a
command prompt. 

The problem the student is having is that the command prompt is not showing
up. I am not referring to the GRASS command prompt, but the MSYS command
prompt. All that appears is a cursor. For the output window, he is using the
Run button.

	Because he didn't start GRASS from MSYS. Please, read the "launching
GRASS"
	section in README file; you can find it in grass directory or here:
	http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/binary/mswindows/#Launching%20GRASS

	Did he used Run or Run GUI?
	Could you give me the command that created such error?

	Hi,
	
	I am TAing a brand new class that is using GRASS. I have a student
that is
	using WinGRASS 6.3RC6. He is running Windows XP.
	
	When he opens MSYS to run GRASS, nothing shows up in the window
except the
	cursor. (There is no command prompt)
	
	I asked him to instead use the Output window in the GUI and start
GRASS
	using the GRASS shortcut. However, when he enters a command and hits
Run,
	GRASS hangs and then Windows brings up the "GRASS has encountered an
error
	and must close."
	
	Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas on how I can help him
resolve
	this?
	
	Thanks,
	Ryan
