You have a misunderstanding about select here, I guess. Select is supposed to display a list of given words and take user input (index to these words). It more or less is the same as a for loop, it just doesn't iterate through the words, it lets the user select one of them. http://bash-hackers.org/wiki/doku.php/syntax/ccmd/user_select If you want to make more sophisticated menus, consider to use a dialog(1) or similar: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/040 Jan
