Grass 5.3 snapshot 2004 01 17
Redhat 7.3 with updates
I can't out any way to have default graphics be tcltk except to
manually edit the .grassrc5 file. It used to default to this after
first usage, I believe.
Is there a utility or command to set this in Grass?
Perhaps this should appear on the tcltk menu under or near
"Config"?

If you start GRASS with grass5 -tcltk (or grass53 -tcltk, depending on your installation) it will default to the tcltk GUI from then on, or until you start GRASS with grass5 -text. If you start with grass5 -text, it will default to text mode until you start again with grass5 -tcltk.
AFAICT, you need to start GRASS in text mode (grass5 -text) to create a new location. At least mine bombs and erases the location parameter in .grassrc5 if I try to create a new location within the tcltk GUI. Creating new mapsets work fine however. When I get a chance, I will try to take a look at this and see if I can understand what is going on. Or perhaps someone could enlighten me.

try
grass5 -help
grass57 -help
-> " -tcltk or -gui use Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface"
This might be what you are looking for.

Have you tried launching GRASS with the -tcltk command line option ?

I have never had any problems creating a new location from the tcltk GUI
(it actually just launches the text interface...)
