2 shells in one file

In the below code I am trying to combine two shell into one, but not sure if Im doing it right. Basically, there are 3 steps:

Step 1: the file conversion (which is underlined and asks the user if the file needs to be converted, if "y", then it runs the perl script if "n" then it skips to line 14
Code:
 printf "Is this a batch or sanger analysis :" ; read id

)

Steps 2 and 3 already seem to work, but are asking the user if it is a batch or individual analysis, and if "y" one perl script is run, if "n" then another user prompt and perl command is run. Thanks Smilie.

Code:
 #!/bin/bash
while true
	do
        printf "Does the file need to be converted  : " ; read id
        cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar'
        case "$id" in
        [yY])  perl convert2annovar.pl -includeinfo -format vcf4old ${id}_matched.vcf > ${id}_matched.avinput
		;;
		[nN]) # code for X
		Goto line 14
	done
	    while true
	do
		printf "Is this a batch or sanger analysis :" ; read id
		cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar'
        case "$id" in
        [yY])  perl -ne 'chomp; system ("perl table_annovar.pl $_ humandb/ -buildver hg19 -protocol refGene,popfreq_all,common,clinvar,clinvarsubmit,clinvarreference -operation g,f,f,f,f,f -otherinfo")' < file.txt 
                ;;
        [nN]) # code for X
                printf "Enter ID  : " ; read id
				cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar'
                [ -z "$id" ] && break
                [ "$id" = "end" ] && break
				perl table_annovar.pl ${id}_matched.avinput humandb/ -buildver hg19 -protocol refGene,popfreq_all,common,clinvar,clinvarsubmit,clinvarreference -operation g,f,f,f,f,f -otherinfo
                ;;
        end)  break ;;
        *)     ;; # Unknown option, do nothing
		esac
		Goto line 4
	done

CHSH(1) 							   User Commands							   CHSH(1)

NAME
chsh - change login shell SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN] DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account. OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are: -h, --help Display help message and exit. -R, --root CHROOT_DIR Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. -s, --shell SHELL The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell. If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks. NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser, and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell back to its original value. FILES
/etc/passwd User account information. /etc/shells List of valid login shells. /etc/login.defs Shadow password suite configuration. SEE ALSO
chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5). shadow-utils 4.5 01/25/2018 CHSH(1)
