Thanks Micha.  Good to know I¹m on the right course.  After the first step:
³g.region vect=States save=ConUS² I can indeed ³zoom to saved region² in the
display to view the map.  However, g.region region=ConUS shows:

projection: 99 (Albers Equal Area)
zone:       0
datum:      wgs84
ellipsoid:  wgs84
north:      1838.08985202
south:      34.12860299
west:       -1467.66023444
east:       1403.23869107
nsres:      0.05000031
ewres:      0.04999998
rows:       36079
cols:       57418
cells:      2071584022

Unfortunately, the bounds are all offset from the central axis so I can¹t
use the lat. & lon. values for the boundaries as you suggest.  (ie west=-120
east=-110)  I can overlay a grid and get a good estimate of values that will
work to define my regions.
