read STUDENT
echo
echo "Your student ID number please"
read STUDID
echo
echo "Enter submission title please."
read TITLE
echo
echo "Enter submission subtitle please."
read SUBTITLE
echo
echo "Pick course number"
echo
echo "HDWR1000 | PROG1040 | OSYS1000 | SAAD2000"
echo "      DBAS2020 | ICOM1325 | ICOM1200"
read CLASSNUM
echo
echo "Preferred file name?"
read FILENAME
TIM=`date`

	if [ $CLASSNUM=HDWR1000 ]; then
	CLASS=`awk -F":" 'NR==2 {print $1}' < dbase.txt`
