Mr. Rai, First, which version of GRASS are you using? The GUI in the current GRASS 6.3.0 works with a TclTk canvas, not an x-mon (e.g., x0). If you are using an old version of GRASS, I highly recommend that you upgrade to 6.3.
Second, if you want to interact with a display--show a map, interactively query a map, etc--you need to do so through the GUI, not by running d.* commands. GRASS display commands (d.rast, d.what.rast, etc) will not work in the GUI display without a lot of programming. Instead, use the buttons on the display toolbar for zooming, querying, profiling, etc. There is pretty good on-line help for the GUI. Look at GIS Manager help under the Help menu in the main GUI window. This should be a good start for your tutorial. I hope this helps.
