Confusion...
Ok guys, I think I'm missing something here.
I was using radoulov's example and had gotten much further.
I see two things happening that I need to change.
(1) When I select an option from the list, it simply outputs the $REPLY value back to the console. The user doesnt need to see this value, but instead it needs to be passed as a variable to the command to be executed.
(2) Once I select an option from the list, it just keeps prompting me for another option to select and doesn't move on to complete the script. Am I missing an end, or done, or something?

Thanks.
