g.mapset should in SEE ALSO refer to how to also remove mapsets.
P.S., 'g.setproj help' does not help, but instead executes. i.points help too.
On g.setproj's man page, NAME is repeated twice.
On i.points's man page, NAME is empty.
P.S., When one starts up one sees:
$ grass
                            GRASS 6.0.0beta2

   LOCATION: This is the name of an available geographic location. -spearfish-
is the sample data base for which all tutorials are written.

** all tutorials?!

   MAPSET: Every GRASS session runs under the name of a MAPSET.
	    Associated with each MAPSET is a rectangular COORDINATE
	    REGION and a list of any new maps created.

However, in g.gisenv.html we see "Maps stored under the same GRASS
LOCATION_NAME (and/or within the same MAPSET) must use the same
coordinate system"

Therefore the boilerplate upon starting grass is misleading.
So instead of talking about spearfish, mention coordinate systems, or
else one will think to use a different geoid, one just needs a
different mapset, or something.

As far as I know, there is no automated way to remove mapsets from within
Grass. The only way I know is to rm -rf, but do we want to include that in the
g.mapset man page?  If we decide to include this information, it might be more
appropriate on g.mapsets where there is already lost of discussion about
copying, accessing mapsets.

I doubt g.mapset or g.mapsets is the best place. I have added a note about
removing to "How to start with GRASS (docs/html/helptext.html)", mentioned
g.mapsets there and linked from g.mapsets to helptext.html as well.

Not in Grass 6.3. Actually 'g.setproj help' is invalid - see the manual. Only
plain 'g.setproj' works.

> On g.setproj's man page, NAME is repeated twice.

Not anymore.

> On i.points's man page, NAME is empty.

Not anymore.

Will be corrected.

Will be corrected too.

Closing bug.
