I have designed a script menu, but I would like to to create sub menus e.g. I have my normal menu, then have a few options, and I for example choose option 2 and I would like it to take me to a whole new page (well, clear the screen) then allow me to choose from 5/6 options, which are functional. Dunno if that is clear but, ill give u an example:
Usual menu appears with 6 options e.g.
1. File functions
2. Directory functions
3. -
4. -
5. -
6. -
And say I choose option 1, I would like it to clear the screen and take me to a new sub-menu e.g.
1. Delete
2. Copy
3. Remove
etc
