[GRASSLIST:2652] background layers in v.digit?

Is there any way of getting v.digit to draw other layers along with the one currently being digitized? It is oftwn useful to use a second layer as a guide to digitizing, but v.digit erases everything except the digitizing layer when it starts up.

Thanks for any info,
C.

Yes, it's there.
