SYSGEN isn't the best user intrface into the parameters, and even the 
name is misleading in my opinion.  You're not really generating a system.

But, it does work, and allows the parameters to be displayed and 
modified.  It's also used very infrequently.  Perhaps that's part of the 
perceived problem, not being so familiar with the utility because of 
infrequent use.

Anything can be improved.  Like a woman that doesn't talk when you don't 
want to hear "it".  But I'd rate the need to look at SYSGEN to be rather 
low.
