Radim,
Thanks again. Your replies are helping quite a bit in making GRASS 5.7 more useable.

After considerable futzing, that is where I am at now. When I first
digitized this, it happened to be in several separate segments (green
"x" at intersections). I eventually ran v.clean, separating all
segments, followed by v.build.polylines to put them together into a
single boundary (one red "x" at the closing intersection). However, I
had to do a v.out.ascii, edit the ascii file to get rid of some tiny
segments, followed by a v.in.ascii to finally get to a single boundary
line.Small dangles can be removed by v.clean tool=rmdangle
I did this. This is why I was surprised to find these in the ascii files. In fact, they may be dangles that overlapped part of the "correct" polygon. I also turned on rmdup (to remove such duplicates) in v.clean. So I don't know why they still were hanging around.
The polygon still doesn't show up as a filled area.
Areas are filled in d.vect, not in v.digit.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. It doesn't show up in v.digit as a filled area. I can't tell if it is an area or not in v.digit (because I haven't successfully made one yet to see how it looks), so I am using v.digit to see if I've created an area or not.
If it helps figure out what may be going on, nothing happens when I
click the show attributes button and select either the polygon or a
centroid I created.You can query only primitives (point,line,boundary,centroid) not areas
in v.digit.
Again, I guess I wasn't clear. I was clicking on both the boundary and the centroid and nothing happened. Because I haven't yet been able to make an area, I can't select one to query (though it's good to know that I shouldn't bother). I *thought* that once in the past when I queried something I made I got an information box, but this is not happening on these figures.
As an aside, I successfully exported the polygon to GRASS 5.0.x using the v.out.ascii -o command. After running v.build, I opened it in v.digit (ver. 4.3), added a centroid, and voila had an area.
I must be missing something somewhere in trying to do this in GRASS 5.7.
