A friend of mine who uses GRASS passed this on to me:

"Check out <http://grass.baylor.edu/> and follow the links to the
documentation. For GRASS-6.0, use the online html manual and select the
vector link. There you'll find:

      <http://grass.baylor.edu/grass60/manuals/html60_user/v.in.ogr.html>

which is the man page that describes v.in.ogr. Available drivers include
ESRI shapefiles."
