This discussion is a bit baffling. What version do you have?
The current version of GRASS 5.7 normally opens with the display manager (command d.m) active, and a complete TclTk menu system for all GRASS commands.
If you have a current version and have somehow turned off the GUI, you can restart it as Didit describes below or by starting with grass57 -tcltk. Typing tcltkgrass & from the GRASS xterm prompt while running GRASS will start the GUI temporarily (i.e., for that session).
If you have an older version of GRASS 5.7 (e.g., early 2004 or before) and want to add the current GUI, you can download and install it from my website at <www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/grass.htm>. Note, however, that this GUI contains menu entries for GRASS modules that have been added since the pre-GUI version.
Hope this helps.

If you always want to open up grass with a graphical interface, just change your
.grassrc5 file with a unix text editor like pico. Change the line that says
GRASS_GUI: text
to
GRASS_GUI: tcltkwith grass 57 the file might be called .grassrc57
Good luck,
