when starting grass on a fairly fresh Windows7 install, if you try to
launch the cmd.exe version of the grass terminal from the start menu
("GRASS $ver Command Line) you see a dos box flash up then disappear. If
you try it from an already-running cmd.exe window you see the error at the
DOS prompt:
{{{
The system cannot find the batch label specified -aftertextcheck
}}}
from then on the %PATH% is updated and many %GRASS_*% enviro variables
exist, but grass hasn't really started up and grass modules will not run.
this is a regression from grass 6.4.2, I suppose some goto: related
tragedy in the .bat file.

Comment:
This is a duplicate of #1803, where I identified the root cause:
''The problem is in the etc\Init.bat where the "aftertextcheck" label is
used - looks like Windows expects "\r\n" at the end of the label name
rather than "\n".''
Closing this ticket and promoting #1803 to blocker.
