Hi Philipp

Creating a new GRASS vector is easily done with the respective "Create
new GRASS Vector". -- You probably got that I suppose

Then I add the columns I want ( after pressing above mentioned button,
Grass Edit window appears) under "Table" tab (Add column and
Create/Alter Table)

Digitise something... (Update table)

Close

Exit QGIS

Now I can confirm with db.tables -p that a table named after my "TEST"
Vector data exists.  (I use sqlite)

I can see this vector both in GRASS and in QGIS.

In QGIS I load points/lines/areas in separate layers... (each time when
I "Add GRASS Vector" I select the respective "layer" for my TEST
Vector).

Hope this helps and does not mess you up more.

Cheers,

Nikos
