Subject: d.area documentation for catnum options needs update
Platform: Linux/Intel
Linux distro: Debian
linux cpu: Intel (i486, i586, pentium ...)
Xwindows version: Xfree 4.0.x
Xwindows manager: WindowMaker
TclTk version: tcl/tk 8.2
grass downloaded at: Trento site
grass binary for platform: I compiled the sources myself
grass sources source: GRASS 5.0.0pre3
c compiler name: gcc
When trying to enter more than one catnum in d.area (d.area map=in catnum=value1,
value2), the entire list needs to be quoted (catnum='value1, value2) or otherwise
the program rejects all cats other than the first. This should at least be documented. |

This is the way Unix shells behave.
The usual solution is not to use spaces, i.e.
d.area map=in catnum=value1,value2
This is basic Unix knowledge; it belongs in a book on using Unix
(as well as the sh(1) manual page, where it is documented), not in
the GRASS documentation.
