Description

       Edit a configuration. By default, a Tk GUI will be opened if "Config::Model::TkUI" is installed. You can
       choose another user interface with the "-ui" option:

       •   "tk": provides a Tk graphical interface (If "Config::Model::TkUI" is installed).

       •   "curses": provides a curses user interface (If Config::Model::CursesUI is installed).

       •   "shell":  provides a shell like interface.  See Config::Model::TermUI for details. This is equivalent
           to running "cme shell" command.
