Here's a little example. The sub-menus are coded as procedures which are referenced by the main-menu code.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
file_menu() {
clear
echo '\n\n(File Functions menu processing goes here)'
sleep 2
}

dir_menu() {
clear
echo '\n\n(Directory Functions menu processing goes here)'
sleep 2
}

# Main Menu

while true
do
clear
cat<<endcat


1. File Functions
2. Directory Functions
9. Exit

endcat

echo 'Enter choice: \c'
read reply

case $reply in
  1) file_menu;;
  2) dir_menu;;
  9) return;;
  *) echo 'invalid choice'
     sleep 2;;
esac

done
