Question on returning back a level with menus

Hi Agian

Sorry for all these questions...:

Last one for a whie, I promise

This is an example of a menu script I am using. It works OK...when I get to the 2nd menu level, if the command is issued or canceled, I would like to go back to the first menu (# MAIN SECTION)
This is NOT the menu I have created..its a bit large so I have created a smaller version below to make things easier...ish

Code:

#! /bin/bash
　
# MAIN SECTION　
activeWM=$(whiptail --backtitle "Hi" --title "PRESS YES OR NO " --radiolist "PRESS YES OR NO " 30 60 20 "ON" "PRESS YES OFF" ON "OFF" "PRESS NO" OFF 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)
echo "User selected Ok and entered $activeWM"
　
OPTION='ON'
 
 
if [ "$OPTION" == "$activeWM" ];
then
echo "You pressed ON('$activeWM')"
whiptail --title "You pressed ON" --yesno "This is an example of a yes/no box." 8 78
 
exitstatus=$?
if [ $exitstatus = 0 ]; then
echo "User selected Yes."
else
echo "User selected No."
fi
 
echo "(Exit status was $exitstatus)"
　
else
echo "You Pressed OFF('$activeWM')"
whiptail --title "You pressed OFF" --yesno "This is an example of a yes/no box." 8 78
 
exitstatus=$?
if [ $exitstatus = 0 ]; then
echo "User selected Yes."
else
echo "User selected No."
fi
 
echo "(Exit status was $exitstatus)"
　
 
fi

Something like a goto back to the main section..and only then can someone cancel from the top menu,,,

Thanks again

How is the level of access on a particular folder determined? I have heard (its just hearsay so am not particularly sure of it) that the access a particular user/group has to a low level directory is also affected by the level of access granted to the user/group on its parent directories. e.g. ...

d_menu_proc(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					      d_menu_proc(3alleg4)

NAME

       d_menu_proc - Dialog procedure implementing a menu bar object. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int d_menu_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);

DESCRIPTION

       This object is a menu bar which will drop down child menus when it is clicked or if an alt+key corresponding to one of the shortcuts in the
       menu is pressed. It ignores a lot of the fields in the dialog structure, in particular the color is taken from the  gui_*_color	variables,
       and  the  width	and height are calculated automatically (the w and h fields from the DIALOG are only used as a minimum size.) The dp field
       points to an array of menu structures: see do_menu() for more information. The top level menu will be displayed as a  horizontal  bar,  but
       when  child  menus drop down from it they will be in the normal vertical format used by do_menu(). When a menu item is selected, the return
       value from the menu callback function is passed back to the dialog manager, so your callbacks should return D_O_K, D_REDRAW, or D_CLOSE.
