v.patch output (fwd)

Hello

I am running GRASS 4.0 and created a map of a Caribbean island in v.digit.
The map was on two sheets, and were therefore joined with v.patch. I then
ran v.support on the patched output (soils) before copying it with g.copy
to another file (topo). I then edited the new file (topo) in v.digit with
the "no digitizer" option. The edited (topo) file could be viewed with
d.vect, however, when I went back into v.digit this time specifying the
Calcomp digitizer, no map appeared when the screen was eventually redrawn.
I then decided to remove the new file (g.remove) but got the following -:

  REMOVE [topo}
  raster missing
  header missing
  category missing
  color missing
  history missing
  misc missing

A g.list revealed that topo had NOT been removed after all.

Could someone please show me where I am going wrong?

Thanks

Having had to delete the odd vector file myself - you need to specify that it is
vector, (the default is raster). Try

                g.remove vect=topo

With the digitizing problem - I can't help. I have had the odd line not
appear when GRASS and I both know it is there. It came back up when I
redigitized over the top of it. Have you tried v.digit on the vector file you
copied from?

You probably typed g.remove topo (which assumes topo is raster file)
you should type g.remove vect=topo.
BTW: Am I right that you are using grass4.0, and not grass4.1?
