Down at the bottom of the vector properties pane, click the "Show

I also tried labelling a point vector (bugsites in spearfish) with
one of its attributes, and that works.
OK. I CAN duplicate this weird problem. Only with the autogui
startup. It gives a dbmi protocol error
db.select table=archsites database=/Users/Shared/grassdata/
Spearfish60_test/PERMANENT/dbf/ driver=dbf
Bad file descriptor: dup r
dbmi: Protocol error
Unable to start driver <dbf>
This command doesn't via tcltk, though it does work from the terminal.
If you start up tcltk via g.gui tcltk&, it works fine.
Anyone out there -- What happens in startup AFTER the TclTk gui is
launched that might make db.select work with the following?
start up GRASS in TclTk GUI mode
db.select does NOT work (error above)
quit Tcltk
g.gui tcltk&
db.select DOES work

Further tests. All of the db.* info modules except db.tables fail
(with the same error, above) from TclTk when it is first started from
Init.sh. This includes:
db.tables
db.describe
db.select
db.columns
All of these work when the tcltk GUI is started from g.gui
Really weird. What is "dup r"???
