Many thanks Maris, specifying the .shp file instead of the .prj one, the new location is created. In my opinion it is not necessary to implement the direct introduction of a .prj file, but it could be useful to specify somewhere (in the manual?) that the file to be used is the .shp one.

It's a feature! Or - in this case - a missing feature. TCL/Tk startup screen pases provided file to g.proj as georef parameter. g.proj expects file to be a georeferenced file (i.e. GeoTIFF, ESRI Shapefile etc.) and not plain projection file. If there's a demand for creating new locations by .prj files, It's possible to implement such feature in TCL/Tk startup screen (just pass file as wkt option). Somebody has to open a wish item the intracker for it and then someday it might happen, but not for 6.4.1.
