Warning: when trying to set the IP host number for your workstation,
suninstall makes it difficult.  If you type Control-P to go to the next
line, it jumps from "Ethernet Interface" to "NIS Type", skipping past the
"Internet Address" line.  You can type ^P/^N (or ^F/^B) as much as you
like, but the cursor won't go to the right line.

The only way to change the Internet Address is by hitting the RETURN key
at the appropriate place.  But, of course, ^M is not documented in the
help message at the bottom of the screen.
