sh file: READ (menu) but now run with option
I have a script which uses READ to detect choice of menu option...now I want to change the script without doing whole rewrite such that when user runs ./script.sh 5 it would execute menu option 5 rather than user running ./script.sh waiting for it to load and then pressing "5 enter"
Is it possible to keep both functionalities (user can select from menu if no variable is passed or user can pass option upon running)....
Thanks!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
tk_menuBar, tk_bindForTraversal - Obsolete support for menu bars
SYNOPSIS
tk_menuBar frame ?menu menu ...?
tk_bindForTraversal arg arg ...
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
These procedures were used in Tk 3.6 and earlier releases to help manage pulldown menus and to implement keyboard traversal of menus. In
Tk 4.0 and later releases they are no longer needed. Stubs for these procedures have been retained for backward compatibility, but they
have no effect. You should remove calls to these procedures from your code, since eventually the procedures will go away.
From Tk 8.0 onwards, you should instead construct your menubar as a normal menu and then attach it to the toplevel of your choice using the
-menu option of that widget.
SEE ALSO
menu(1T), toplevel(1T)
KEYWORDS
keyboard traversal, menu, menu bar, post
