Hello Georg, first - I suggest You to get a copy of GRASS book. It's really good reading for beginner. Second - as I noted, v.profile is a new GRASS Add-on [1]. You can compile it from source only. It requires GRASS 6.4 or 7 (both unreleased). v.profile README file contains short note how to

Hamish, please forgive my ignorance but I am not sure what you mean. As far as I know g.region is the means to change the resolution, whether through the command line or the GUI. Can you please explain how to access and change the computational region settings. hamish_b wrote: [please don't

You can also take a look at new vector addon module v.profile. It will give Your track intersections with contour lines or any other points/lines. Currently it has limitation - Your track has to be a single vector line. You can also combine r.profile and v.profile to create better track profiles

Dude- It is saturday night. Your request is for a fairly simple operation, but there are several steps. Some hints: 1. convert your contours into a DEM: v.surf.rst 2. sample the elevation model along your line segments: v.to.db v.drape you may need to densify the line segments-- i.e. add more
