Subject: (RTPC) Version 6.1B: moira

System type, version:	(RTPC) Version 6.1B
System name:		pit-manager
What's wrong:

Most commands in moira allow you to specify their options as part of
the command, rather than at interactive prompts.  For example, I can
type "members jewnet" to get the members menu with the jewnet list,
without having to type "jewnet" at a separate prompt.

However, when I am in the members menu, the following happens:

Command: remove user heafitz
Remove a member from this list
Type of member (LIST, STRING, USER) [user]: user
Name of user to delete [jik]: heafitz
Are you sure you want to delete this member? [n]: y
Deletion Completed.

Moira ignores the options I have given to the command.

What should have happened:

There should be a uniform interface.  If I can type "members jewnet,"
I should be able to type "remove user heafitz" and expect the same
sort of behavior.
