startup screen:
LOCATION: This is the name of a geographic location. It is
defined by a co-ordinate system and a rectangular boundary.
....
The REGION defaults to the entire area of the chosen
LOCATION. You may change it later with the command: g.region
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That may indicate that LOCATION's DEFAULT_WIND setting has more
power than it does. ie it doesn't limit you to that REGION
rectange, it just sets it as the starting point.
