when trying us use the gui to run Remove maps using expressions and wildcards
I get the following error( from details window):

Don't know why you get that (user id's?), but I don't think it will
work from the GUI anyway:

[Run]
g.mremove vect=foo?
Collecting map names for current mapset <user1>...
g.remove vect=foo1,foo2,foo3

Did you mean this(y/n)?

  ^^^^ interactive prompt which won't work in the Tcl/Tk window.

needs to happen in an xterm like r.digit?
