Yes except you always need to quote arguments that have spaces in them.
thanks, v.digit -n map=test1 bgcmd="d.rast map=rast1" works.
Just curious, how do I do it the "graphical way" - I found the d.rast
map=rast1 command in the v.digit GUI-open settings-background. But starting
with v.digit map=test1 and then adding the command d.rast map=rast1 did not
work.

Once you have some that you feel illustrate the modules well, please
submit them for inclusion.
submit them where, as wish or to the author (Radim)?
I would submit these examples which should cover the functionality and a hint
in the man page that quotes are important if the bgcmd setting includes
spaces.
d.mon x0
d.rast name_of_your_raster #just to look at and to zoom into the area of
interest
# digitizing an area based on a existing raster map, a vector map will be
created
v.digit -n map=name_of_new_vector_map bgcmd="d.rast map=name_of_your_raster"
# "-n" specifies that your vector map does not exist yet and will be created
with the name given by "map=". "bgcmd=" specifies a display ("d.*") command
and is set into quotes because it contains a space.
#the v.digit GUI appears -- after exiting v.digit GUI the vector map
"name_of_new_vector" exists
d.erase # to clear the monitor
d.vect "name_of_new_vector" # the newly created vector should appear in the
monitor
# digitize a new vector and using the first vector and the raster image as
background
d.erase # clear monitor
v.digit -n map=name_of_new_vector_map bgcmd="d.rast map=name_of_your_raster;
d.vect=name_of_a_second_vector"
#v.digit GUI appears and the layer defined in the "bgcmd=" settings are
displayed in the background. The "bgcmd=" settings have to be seen as a
series of commands separated with ";", therefore the last command "d.vect"
displays the vector on top of the raster image.
# digitzing a raster map and using a previously created vector map as base
which is displayed in the background as well
v.digit map=name_vector bgcmd="d.rast map=name_of_your_raster;
d.vect=name_vector"
