Something like this ksh script (on an 80 col x 25 row screen), where things are carefully positioned.. but this script doesn't include colors, just a menu:

Code:

choice=0

while [ $choice -ne 4 ]
do

clear

echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""
echo "                ###############################################"
echo "                # Choose a script to run from the list below: #"
echo "                #                                             #"
echo "                # 1) Rename script   (./scr)                  #"
echo "                # 2) Another script  (./folder/another)       #"
echo "                # 3) OneMore script  (../progs/onemore)       #"
echo "                #                                             #"
echo "                # 4) QUIT                                     #"
echo "                #                                             #"
echo "                ###############################################"

echo ""
echo -n "                Choice: "
read choice

case "$choice" in
 1 ) ./scr ;;
 2 ) ./folder/another ;;
 3 ) ../progs/onemore ;;
 4 ) clear; exit 1 ;;
esac

done
