Any chance you could help out and cut it down for him?  I would be
great to have a hand getting this in.

Originally this task started as the create/delete task, and in
hindsight that much should have been proposed for comment first. 

I mentioned in the office (rather that on the list, oops) that would
leave a weird situation where the administrator needs to know that
computers really are users too, and to use those subcommands, so why
not try and re-use those.  

The challenge was that simple re-direction didn't work (confusing help,
trailing $) and suddenly this became a big cut/paste job. 

If you could help us cut this down to the parts that makes sense as an
administrator that would be really helpful.

(Joe is on leave, as he mentioned, but I can help land this if we can
all decide what to land...)

Thanks!
