I'd recommend looking at the bottom of this thread for More UNIX and Linux Forum Topics You Might Find Helpful threads.
Also look a simple menu building script as a sample of using select and case:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash

files='*sh';
actions='cat edit quit'
PS3="Pick one of the above [${actions}]: "
TMOUT=10

select i in ${actions}
do
   case $i in
      cat)  eval cat "${files}" ;;
      edit) eval ${EDITOR-vi} "${files}" ;;
      quit) break ;;
      "") print -u2 you must select one of the above [${actions}] ;;
   esac
done

DESCRIPTION

       nautilus-actions  is an extension for the nautilus file manager which allows arbitrary programs to be launched through the nautilus context
       menu.

       Each time you right-click on one or more files in nautilus, or any part of the background of the currently opened folder,  nautilus-actions
       will  look  at  its  configured	actions to see if a program has been setup for this selection. If so, it will add an item to the menu that
       allows you to execute the program on the selected files.

       Configurations are stored in GConf for speed  and  integration  with  other  GNOME  programs.  Configs  can  be	easily	shared	using  the
       "Import/Export assistant" menu items in the Tools menu of nautilus-actions-config-tool /.
