[Bashburn-info] A change in the configure menu.

[Steven W. O. <st...@sy...>]

I want to do this but I'm too tired to do it now. I just rode my bike for 
47 miles and I'm beat.

Here's the deal: The configure menu is just stoopid. It gives us 21 
options to change something. Then the last three options are apply 
changes, apply defaults, and Back.

If you make a change then it is altered in your namespace but not 
'committed' to your .bashburnrc. If you want to say back then you have no 
way to revert to what it was. It doesn't make sense.

Here's what I want to do:

When you make a change, the change will be reflected in the menu but your 
variables will *not* be changed. The apply changes option will actually 
change the values of the affected variables AND write out the new 
.bashburnrc . If the changes have not yet been committed then the menu 
display will show the value you selected with a * at the end of the line 
to show that it was modified but not saved. (I think emacs does it that 
way too. ;-)

So you would see either

| 4) Speed                      (-1)
or
| 4) Speed                      (-2)*

And your actions will look (something) like this:

Back will simply discard the changes if they have not been applied.

|-(Actions)
|- # 22) Apply changes
|- # 23) Apply defaults
|- # 23) Revert changes
| 0) Back

One more thing: NO ONE is referencing BBISCONF. Unless anyone cares, I'm 
discarding it. There are probably more but that one is looking at me. (Did 
I mention I'm dog tired?)
