[deleted text in regard to another question]

In the development of xgrass, it was decided that instead of creating
separate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for each grass command, it
was more practical to use a program that read a script that told it how
to create an interface to run 'on top of' the command line programs.
This program is called 'xclip4.1' (if you are using grass4.1).

For each program for which that xclip is used, there is a script that
tells it about the inputs/outputs/flags/parameters/dependencies/etc
for the given program.

In addition, Carlos, an xgrass user does not normally know that they
are using xclip - since it is called by the xgrass menuing system
'behind the screen' when one selects a command for which xclip acts as
the graphical interface between the user and the grass command-line
program for which it is programmed to call.

I have extracted an html page out of a document for general perusal.
This web link gives a brief example of an xclip application.
