Have you considered a case statement in your script? - not to be confused with them entering the word case6 or CASESIX

Something like:-
Code:
case "$ITEM" in
  case1|CASEONE)    # Do whatever case1 needs 
                 ;;
  case2|CASETWO)    # Do whatever case2 needs 
                 ;;
  case3|CASETHREE)  # Do whatever case3 needs 
                 ;;
  case4|CASEFOUR)   # Do whatever case4 needs 
                 ;;
  case5|CASEFIVE)   # Do whatever case5 needs 
                 ;;
  case6|CASESIX)    # Do whatever case6 needs 
                 ;;
  *)                # handle error
                 ;;
esac

You could also make an automatic menu with a select loop around your case statement.

NAME

       mitem_value - set and get menu item values

SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>
       int set_item_value(ITEM *item, bool value);
       bool item_value(const ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION

       If  you	turn off the menu option O_ONEVALUE (e.g., with set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off; see menu_opts(3X)), the menu becomes multi-valued;
       that is, more than one item may simultaneously be selected.

       In a multi_valued menu, you can used set_item_value to select the given menu item (second argument TRUE) or deselect  it  (second  argument
       FALSE).

RETURN VALUE

       The function set_item_value returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

       E_REQUEST_DENIED
	    The menu driver could not process the request.

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES

       The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
