[GRASS-dev] [bug #5218] (grass) wingrass: creating new location from startup screen with projection values fails

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=5218
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: wingrass: creating new location from startup screen with projection values fails

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Other (CDROM etc)
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: huidae's wingrass version sept. 17

Trying to create a new location from the startup screen in wingrass entering projection values manually doesn't work. The procedure crashes after entering the one-line description of the new location with an error message: "the syntax of the command is not correct. LOCATION (test) NOT created" (translated from French).

Just before that, after the confirmation of the coordinate system choice there is a message: "'clear' is not recognized as an internal command" (translated from French).

This won't work because it requires an interactive xterm. This is not
currently available in wingrass, though I think I remember some discussion
by Glynn suggesting that it might (or might not) be possible to compile
wingrass in such a way as to make this and similar functions work.
