[GRASSLIST:4763] extract polygons behing points

Hello,

I have two vector files: 100 locations and > 1000 areas.
I want to receive a vector which holds all areas that include a location (must
be 100).

I tried v.overlay but that's not what I am looking for, because not the whole
area of the second vector file is taken if a location is inside this area but
just the overlapping area.

I would be thankful for any hint to a website, command, ML mail etc.

cheers Martin

solution:
v.select ainput=area_vect atype=area binput=locations_vect
output=location_area
