If so which option/menu do I have to take?

Every version of Linux uses shell scripts. To write a script, use a text editor. I recommend emacs, but use whatever editor you are comfortable with.

There should be several terminal programs installed; usually you will have at least xterm and rxvt, and, if KDE is installed, there should be konsole. Use one of those to test one- (or even 10-) line scripts directly at the prompt, and to run your script files.
