If you want something more lightweight than the already suggested dialog, then a closer analogue to DOS's 'choice' would be the bash builtin 'read'. 'help read' (using 'help' as that gets you documentation on shell builtin commands) will get you a brief description of its function, or you can look in 'man bash'. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
