I think you mix up the purpose of location and mapsets- what you ask for is exactly what mapsets are do. It seemed to. And yes, this may come from experiences with other GIS programs, too. Note that not only ArcGIS works this way but also QGIS or gvSIG, for instance. Throw together data from

I don't understand what you want to do here. Image the following use case: You have project location. Then you would like to test out some new processing workflows or developed a new methodology. In order not to pollute the project location with a lot of test rasters, you start a new location to

I don't understand what you want to do here. AFAICT, the only reason for saving a GRASS region is to use the region in GRASS. The same goes for a workspace file. As others have pointed out g.region and g.proj will export the details of any projection used by GRASS. If you are trying to use
