Hello
Here are some UI improvements...

I have moved around the question for "b" (and the new "c?") to be asked
before the big data transfer, I think it is nice to do the question and
then fire away the "long" jobs...

I also got tired of having to do "a" to get a list of tracks before "b" so
"b" now starts with fetching the list as it quite a fast operation and UI
wise it is nice to have the list when one should select tracs...

I have also added a "c?" to act as "c" but you can select output format, I
don't know if you want to replace "c" with the select format version so I
created a new as an example.

I added some info on how to config serialport under Linux (why do you use
56000 and not 57600? )

The diff is against rev 164

I liked the "?"-syntax you introduced and so I added most of your suggestions 
in 
r166 like so:

c: calling it without args assumes gpx
c?: prompts you for the format
c fitlog: uses the format you supply, asuming it exists

b: asks for trackIds, prompts for format, then executes
b?: lists tracks, asks for ids, prompts for format, then executes

I think it is better if ? could mean the same thing like in c? it means I want 
to
select output format but in b? it means I wan to see list of tracks...

I think it would be nicer if b? also ment select output format and b defults to 
gpx 
Are there any reason why one don't want the list of tracks almost always?

How about this change, it makes it possible to specify the default output 
format, and
it makes b,b?,b <format> behave like c,c? and c <format>

I don't know if you still want the track-list optional in b the latest patch 
makes it
always appare in b again.

(I didn't think you where sill working on it tonight so the patch is not from 
you
latest let me know if I should rebase)

sorry the patch is against r166 (I saw you closing 21 and assumed you commited 
it
also) e.g. it was from your latest and a fix from the string in issue 21 and 20.

no, thank you for your suggestions!
tracklist is now always shown when doing b, except when suppressing with "b!".
"b!" is a good call when getting tracks with the newly added slice notation: 
just 
enter "-1" instead of a trackid to get the newest track or "-5:" to get the 
five 
newest or "4:5" to get tracks #4 and #5. I like it, maybe you will too.
