Huh? What's the error?

I think it does:

cd grass60/lib/init
grep xterm *
epsg_option.tcl:                                        exec -- xterm -e $env(GISBASE)/etc/make_location_epsg.sh \

cd grass60/display/d.m
grep xterm *
d.m.tcl:    eval exec -- xterm -e $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-run.sh $cmd $args &

[etc ?]

Should this become a global variable?

Here is the beast:
cd grass60/lib/init
grep proj/epsg *
 epsg_option.tcl:        set browsedepsg "/usr/local/share/proj/epsg"
 epsg_option.tcl:                set browsedepsg "/usr/local/share/proj/epsg"

Better solutions welcome (before beta2...).
