       _g_._r_e_m_o_v_e  allows  the  user to remove specified data base element files
       from the current mapset.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       If _g_._r_e_m_o_v_e is invoked without arguments on the command	line,  a  menu
       will appear listing possible data element types, as below:

	      raster maps

	      vector maps

	      paint icon files

	      paint label files

	      site list files

	      region files

	      imagery group files

       RETURN to exit


       Once  the element type is selected, the user is prompted to name a spe-
       cific file of this element type for removal.   (This  list  will  vary,
       depending  on  what  files  currently exist in the user's mapset.)  The
       specified file is removed, and the user is again prompted for the  name
       of a file of this element type to be removed.  When prompted for a file
       name, the user may enter lliisstt to see a list of existing files  of  this
       element type, or hit RETURN to get back to the above menu.


       Alternately,  the  user	can  specify  the  data  base element type and
       file(s) to be removed on the command line.  Data base element types are
       specified by the names to the left, below.

   PPaarraammeetteerrss::
       rraasstt==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of raster file(s) to be removed.

       vveecctt==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of vector file(s) to be removed.

       iiccoonn==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of paint icon file(s) to be removed.

       llaabbeellss==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of paint labels file(s) to be removed.

       ssiitteess==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of site list file(s) to be removed.

       rreeggiioonn==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of region file(s) to be removed.

       ggrroouupp==_n_a_m_e[,_n_a_m_e,...]
	      Name(s) of imagery group file(s) to be removed.

       The data base element file(s) named by the user on the command line are
       subsequently removed from the user's current mapset.

       For example, the below command will cause the raster files named _s_o_i_l_s,
       _s_l_o_p_e, and _t_e_m_p, the vector files named _r_o_a_d_s and _r_a_i_l, and the imagery
       group files named _n_h_a_p_._1 and _n_h_a_p_._2, and these files'  associated  sup-
       port  files  (e.g.,  cell  header  files,  category files, etc.), to be
       removed from the user's current mapset.	gg..rreemmoovvee rraasstt==_s_o_i_l_s_,_s_l_o_p_e_,_t_e_m_p

NNOOTTEE
       If  a  particular  data	base element file has support files associated
       with it (e.g., as is commonly the case  with  raster  files),  _g_._r_e_m_o_v_e
       will  remove  these support files along with the data base element file
       specified.


       The user can only use _g_._r_e_m_o_v_e to remove data files existing under  the
       user's _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _m_a_p_s_e_t.


       To remove multiple files, the script _g_._m_r_e_m_o_v_e may be used.

FFIILLEESS
       $GISBASE/etc/element_list  lists  the  element types whose files can be
       removed by the user.
