re: bringing in point data from ARC

Notice that this process puts the record number into the attribute
column in GRASS, which may or may not be what you want. You may need
to create another file of the attributes and then add it onto the
first column of the .lab file in place of the $recno, or as the third
column of a post-awked file. This would require some minor perl
programming or a good editor.

The Unix command "paste" can be combined with "awk" to accomplish similar.
