echo Select by pressing a number and then ENTER ;
}

PressEnter () {
echo Press Enter
read x
}

DirectoryDisplay () {
ls -l|more
PressEnter
}

Filefunctions () {
clear
echo "\t\t\tFile functions Menu"
echo
echo "\t\tPlease Select:"
echo
echo "\t\t\t 5. Delete file"
echo
echo "\t\t\t 0. Return to main menu"
echo Select by pressing a number and then ENTER ;
PressEnter
}

Deletefile () {
print -n "Enter file name to be deleted: "
read name
if [ -f $name ]
then
rm $name
echo "file: $name has been deleted"
