The last time I tried to find the "ip broadcast-address" of an
interface I ended up doing "write terminal".  Show interfaces ought to
provide this info.  Maybe each configuration command ought to mention
how to find out what the current setting is, and also how to set it to
the default (I never could set the hostname to a default that would
get omitted in a "write x" command.

Also, "write erase" should ask for confirmation.  I once typed "writ
er" instead of "wri ter".  Gack.
