Package: grass
Version: 6.0.0-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/grass60.1.gz

Mention --help ...

Also, kindly give an example, of what one would say
$ grass HERE
to start up without having to see the form,
if each time the form says
LOCATION:   shangcheng_______________  (enter list for a list of locations)
MAPSET:     addressing_______________  (or mapsets within a location)

DATABASE: /home/jidanni/tmp/grassdata__________________________________________

because there is no example mentioned.

Or maybe add a switch: --same-location-as-last-time.

$ grass addressing
/home/jidanni/addressing: Not a valid GRASS location

Oh, I see, one must say the full
$ grass ~/tmp/grassdata/shangcheng/addressing

Well, the  [[[<GISDBASE>/]<LOCATION_NAME>/]<MAPSET>]
on the man page perhaps should say
[<GISDBASE>/<LOCATION_NAME>/<MAPSET>]
or mention that this all is based on what directory you are in for how
much you can omit.
