Too bad. The only thing I can think of is to replace the text interface with a Tcl/Tk wizard. That would also make it much easier for starters. However, who's going to put all the time into that with a 6.3.0 release pending?
I made another ugly discovery: cmd.exe's tab completion is _turned off_ by default on Win >=2000 (unbelievable!). It could be done by writing a registry value (sic!) into the user's registry tree. Should I add that to grass63.bat?
