The variable REPLY is set by the select command and is what the user typed to the prompt. If REPLY is a valid selection select will assign your variable (file) to the value that equates to the user typed selection.
So for select fruit in apple pear peach if user types 1 you get REPLY=1 fruit="apple" if user types Q you get REPLY=Q fruit="" so you can see fruit will always be one of the valid choices or blank where REPLY is just what the user typed.
The code I posted works fine for me in both bash and ksh, please check you have copied the code as shown and if your sure it's fine can you supply some info on the shell and OS you are using.
