Great stuff.. One thing I thought of: it should probably have an option
to skip to the end of the configuration, i.e. leave the rest of the
stuff as it is. If you only want to change one device, and don't care
about the rest, this will save you some <return> hitting. This would add
just a little bit more luxury to the thing (no, I'm not asking for
window interfaces either ;-))
