Hi RudiC,

Thanks for the speedy response. I'll go through my code and amend the unterminated if/elif statments first - am I correct in thinking I'll simply need to add the second fi in after the last elif? Eg:

Code:
if [ "$option-oki" = "1" ]; then
            read -p "How many paper trays will this printer have? Enter MF/1/2 : " b4350-trays
                if [ "$4350-trays" = "MF" ]; then
                DRV1=$B4350MF
                elif [ "$4350-trays" = "1" ]; then
                DRV1=$B4350MF
                DRV2=$B4350T1
                elif [ "$4350-trays" = "2" ]; then
                DRV1=$B4350MF
                DRV2=$B4350T1
                DRV3=$B4350T2
            fi
    fi

If I'm wrong, apologies. I never thought of using select in all honesty, I (at least thought I) knew the if, so I decided to stick in my comfort zone. If it would make more sense using select, I'll look into that.

What do you mean by an options file? Sorry if I'm a bit slow.

Kind regards.
