John,
p.s. Is there are new version of Open Source GIS - a GRASS Approach planned
to cover the different way of working in Grass7?
... one day it may happen :) Surely not this year - GRASS 7 needs to be more
defined then. Currently it is under heavy development and (I hope) quite
some changes
Hopefully the following will clarify this issue further.
** GRASS 7
GRASS commands work in GRASS 7 including all display commands that
actually display something.
Scripting works in GRASS 7. It works considerably better than it did
in prior versions.
