[GRASS-windows] GRASS MSYS Console problems

[Maxim Dubinin]

Hi Marco,

thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately we were unable to run grass63 -text using your solution. Still
getting the message: Redirection is not supported. I wrote "we"
because at least 3 other people confirmed the same behavior.

This is what I did:
1. Moved grass63 from GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\ to GRASS\msys\home\USERNAME
2. Removed .grassrc6 from GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\
3. Removed .grassrc6 from C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\
4. Ran GRASS MSYS Console
5. Entered grass63 -text

MP> I'm afraid, this is a known bug of the installer (in recognizing the proper
MP> user name); I already fixed it in trunk, but I didn't release it yet.
MP> This said, you should be able to run GRASS moving the grass63 file created
MP> by the installer to "C:\Gis\GRASS\msys\home\YOUR_USERNAME", and then 
MP> deleting the file .grassrc6 from that folder and from your %USERPROFILE%
MP> folder. Restarting GRASS all should go fine.
