Ciao,
  I would like know if exist a function in grass4.1 that works like
d.what.vect but not with use of mouse. I must insert two coordinates and
get only the category value. Sorry for my English and thanks for replay.

Hi, Alberto
For raster layers you can use r.what, but I don't recall any equivalent
for vector layers. I'd consider rasterizing (v.to.rast) the vector data,
and using r.what. Regards,
