What I want is something like KGRUBEDIT or QGRUBEDIT installed on a  
bootable Linux CD.
Then I can boot the CD and edit GRUB files on hard drives located on  
the computer of interest.
I have already had a problem with a GRUB installation that somehow  
decided to have a timeout of zero seconds.
I just saw the GRUB GUI flicker on the screen and then the boot  
continued.
Yes, I fixed it by looking up the documentation that explained how.
( and hated every minute of it )
I like editors like QGRUBEDIT and SWAT because they remind me of what  
is important about the application I am dealing with.  I am very  
visually oriented and dislike remembering commands.

Gus
