Newbie questions

Hello, I'm somewhat new to GRASS. Two questions which everyone but me
probably knows the answer for.

1) Is there a way to size the GRASS monitor automatically (through scripting
or by modifying the fifo device file) at the beginning of a GRASS session.

Set the following parameters in your .grassrc file found in your home
directory:
XDRIVER_HEIGHT: 550
XDRIVER_WIDTH: 600

The numbers represent pixel size- adjust to your own deires.

2) When one has scripted several GRASS display commands, is there an easy way
to "lock" the screen display until all the commands are complete, so the user
can just look at the end result rather than all the intermediate display
operations.

You could select the CELL monitor first in the script (writes to a file
called D_cell after the monitor is stopped) and then later
select the regular monitor and display the> D_cell file?
