So I tried to map it out and explain the steps as well. The script is attached as well and it seems to work for the most part except for the two sections I added. I apologize in advance if I posted the text incorrectly I tried to follow a similar post. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
menu -> gjb2 -> name -> check -> position -> parse -> add2text -> additional? -> annovar -> menu or message and exit
^       ^
|		|               
|       |                                             
user    mecp2 -> name -> check -> position -> parse -> add2text -> additional? -> annovar -> menu or message and exit
choice  ^

	    phox2b -> name -> check -> position -> parse -> add2text -> additional? -> annovar -> menu or message and exit
        ^
		|
		|
		+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
		^
		|
		|
		exit

Code:
menu choice - user is prompted for selection (4 choices)	
selection - each selection has unique transcript assigned
name - python script to verify name syntax
check - user prompted to verify naming correct (Y/N) - after python script is run results of that appear on screen, so that the prompt can be answered
        if the answer is "Y" then next function (position), if "n" then return to function gjb2 and ${id}.txt cleared
position - python script to transfer ${id}.txt to annovar directory and convert to coordinates
parse - parse specific field to create ${id}_parse.txt
add2text - ${id}.txt is added to sanger.txt
additional - user is asked for additional data (Y/N) - if "Y" then goto to gjb2 function, if "N" then goto annovar function
annovar - perl script run on ${id}_parse.txt
after the script is run the user is told its completed and asked if there is more to do(Y/N) - if "Y" then menu function, if "N" then message and exit
