    99 * Problem 2: Non-unix users confuse current working directory with "grassdata".
    1010 * Problem 3: The same things is referred to in different ways (GISDBASE, grassdata, GRASS Database Directory, dbase).
    11  * Problem 4: Instructions often say "set your location and mapset" while they mean "set 'database', then location, and then mapset."
     11 * Problem 4: Instructions often say "set your location and mapset" while they mean "set 'database directory', then location, and then mapset, and optionally also working directory."
    1212 * Problem 5: When setting up "GRASS session" manually, e.g. in Python, GISBASE and GISDBASE look too much alike.
    1313 * Solution: Make it clear that users are dealing with a database and while also emphasizing that the database is spatial as opposed to just attributes (as in GIS vector/spreadsheet tables).
