Hi Rich - Here's a generic version of what I did (I'm not the best programmer,
but this worked):
# this is necessary because the environments change in this script
GISDBASE="D:/GRASSDATA/" # use your info!
LOCATION_NAME_1="latlon" # use your info!
LOCATION_NAME_2="UTM_23" # use your info!
MAPSET_1="user_latlon_maps" # use your info!
MAPSET_2="user_UTM23_maps" # use your info!
HISTFILE_1="$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME_1/$MAPSET_1"/.bash_history
HISTFILE_2="$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME_2/$MAPSET_2"/.bash_history
history -w
history -r "$HISTFILE_1”
# make sure mapsets in the location are available to change into (this is a
user control)
# you can change mapsets within the location easily but changing locations
requires
# resetting the history file
g.mapsets mapset=$VMAP_MAPSET,$ MAPSET_1,$SUB_MAPSET,$CLIM_MAPSET operation=set
# set your mapset (in the current location)
g.mapset mapset=$MAPSET_1 location=$LOCATION_NAME_1 dbase=$GISDBASE
# set your region!
g.region -a vector=SomeMap@$MAPSET_1
# do your GRASS thing
…
# now change your location and mapset
history -w
history -r "$HISTFILE_2”
# if you need more than one mapset in this location, make them
available to the user:
g.mapsets mapset=$MAPSET_2,$MAPSET_X,$MAPSET_Y operation=set
g.mapset mapset=$MAPSET_2 location=$LOCATION_NAME_2 dbase=$GISDBASE
# set your region!
g.region -a vector=SomeMap@$MAPSET_2
# do your GRASS thing
…
# reset the mapset and counters
history -w
history -r "$HISTFILE_1”
g.mapset mapset=$MAPSET_1 location=$LOCATION_NAME_1 dbase=$GISDBASE
# reset your region!
g.region -a vector=SomeMap@$MAPSET_1
I hope this helps you
[😊]

You can use g.mapset to switch locations (also GRASS databases) on the fly.
With g.mapset, the .bash_history of the initial location will be used to record
command history.
