A few general questions...

  My first question is can I get data from r.stats to output to an
array in unix shell? and if so how....

I'm not sure what you mean with outputting r.stats data to an array -
UNIX shell scripting is not actually famous for dealing with arrays...
please be a bit more specific if you can!

  My second question is a little more simple. When using r.mapcalc,
I tried a simple multiplication and addition in unix shell like this:

echo "testmapcalc = map1 * 10 + map2" | r.mapcalc

Now the question is how do I get categories with no cells in them to show up
as zero when doing a r.stats testmapcalc???

Hmm, you may have hit a weak spot here - I'm afraid the only way is to
write a script that checks the output from r.stats on non-occurring
attribute values.

Not much help, I guess, but have a nice day anyway
