[GRASS-user] Importing shp files...setting up new location

I have spearfish60 up and running but now I want to set up a locations housing some of my vector and raster files....and most will have to be imported.

When you drill down to subdirectories...do you put all shp files in a vector directory and all raster in a raster directory first or do you run the import routines and do these routines populate the aforementioned subdirectories or are they stored elsewhere?

Normally you'll leave all your original shapefiles, rasters, etc outside the GRASS file tree. THe various import routines take care of placing things where they need to go.
