This will loop and ask for actions until it receives the code (a 9) to stop. There are not any commands to be run, but that could be handled with if or case statements. (You were asking about loops.)
Code:
> cat script82.sh
while [ "$user_rsp" != "9" ]
do
echo "###"
echo "### What to do next ?"
echo "###"
echo "### 1 - do this"
echo "### 2 - do that"
echo "### 3 - do the other"
echo "### 9 - all done"
echo "###"
read user_rsp
echo $user_rsp
done
