Thanks allot this realy helped, you have no idea.

FINAL SCRIPT if you are interested

#!/bin/sh
# Simple example to read in a line, then echo it out
# If you're using Linux, you'll need to use "echo -e"
# instead of "echo"--> UNIX.

echo "Please Enter The Program Name: \c"

# The \c tells echo not to add a new line

read PROG

# That's where it takes your input and stores it into the
# variable "PROG" - you can name this whatever you want

echo "\nThe \$PROG variable was: $PROG"

# The "\n" forces echo to insert a new line at that spot
#Checking processes
ps -ef |grep "$PROG" > f1
cat f1 |cut -c 1-8 > a.1
cat f1 |cut -c10-14 > b.1
paste a.1 b.1 > B
cat f1 |cut -c49-72 > c.1
paste B c.1 > final
echo "STARTING TO CHECK"
echo "3"
sleep 1
echo "2"
sleep 1
echo "1"
cat final |more
rm f1
rm a.1
rm b.1
rm c.1
rm B
rm final

Thanks.
Marcus.

echo

echo(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  echo(1B)

NAME

       echo - echo arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.

       echo  is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
       ronment variables.

       For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:

	   o	  echo your current-working-directory's full pathname

	   o	  pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters

	   o	  pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.

		    example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"

       See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.

       The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be  invoked	if
       the  user  calls  echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
       characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the  black-slashed  escape  characters,	and  ksh's
       echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.

OPTIONS

       -n    Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
