I have GRASS 6.4.0RC5+39438 (2009). I followed the tutorial, with lots
of mental corrections and managed to get the example displayed. The
tutorial is good, just needs some tweeking to match the GRASS display.
Once inside add a raster map layer such as "elevation" from the
PERMANENT mapset. To do this click on the checkerboard toolbar
button with a "+" on it and then select the map name from the
pull-down list which appears, and click [Ok].
There is no icon checkerboard with a "+" on it. Rather, there is a
green, red, orange icon with an arrow in it. However, it does have the
description "Add raster layer". And, there is not a pull down list.
Rather, a layer is added, labeled raster1 and clicking the "i" button
brings up a pop-up that allows selecting the map.
I am not good at describing things. I don't know what the author
intended the icons to be.
How do I help feeding back the corrections? Or, is this tutorial for a
newer version?
GRASS 6.4.0RC5+39438 is quite old, there are a lot of bug fixes and
improvements in the user interface, you will better have to download
the latest release from the website
(http://grass.osgeo.org/download/index.php). As the wxGUI is now the
default GUI, you will better understand what is written in the
tutorial
cheers,

I had neglected to upload the images that went along with that, now they
are up and hopefully it makes more sense now.
Probably it would help if someone could decorate the images with big red
arrows, and circled icons.
(GIMP: add a new layer, select by circle (keep x,y numbers equal to
get a round one), Select->Border +2 pixels, change background color to
red, and Ctrl-x to cut donut [make sure antialias or feathering is checked in tool opts])

I upgraded to the version on ubuntugis. It still says 6.4.0, but, I
have wxpython, now.

that's right, wxPython GUI became to be default GUI in 6.4.0RC6.

All 6.4 versions in debian/ubuntu have both the wxpython and tk guis
available. You have only to install also the Suggested packages
and select the new gui by -wx option.
