I have installed GRASS on my OX 10.2.4 machine.
When I get the tcltk start up screen asking me to choose
a location, iif I hit the "new" button, I get an error and the
gui crashes. After that when I try to restart GRASS, somehow
the environmental variables GISDBASE and LOCATION
have been erase and it will not start until I go into the
file and manually reset them,
Any ideas?
ALSO
what command do I use to import and xyz ascii raster file?

The OS X binary will not create "new" locations in the GUI mode. You MUST start the text mode with the command in xterm:
grass5 -text
This starts the text mode window where you may name and create new locations and mapsets.
After a location is established you may start the GUI with the command
tcltkgrass &
You will have to quit and restart the GUI once before it is usable. You will get an error message about "error writing to Console 1" QUIT the GUI using the quit button on the main menu, and immediately restart from the xterm using the command:
tcltkgrass &
to restore default use of the GUI, exit grass in xterm
by typing
exit
and then restart
grass5 -tcltk
You will still have to quit and restart the GUI as described above.
