I remember writing a bit of code that took the input from the site list
and converted it to a label file that could be displayed by d.paint.labels;
you can specify size, position, colour and font in the label file as well
if you're so inclined. I can try to find it back it my files if you're
interested, but it should not be extremely difficult to write it yourself.

I'm very new to programming for GRASS, so it would take me a while to figure out
how to write the code. If you have a few minutes to find the file, I'd really
appreciate a copy of it.

Thanks.
