or something like this.. i needed help once getting my script to repeat or bomb my menus and a nice person sent me this
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# simple menu - doesn't really do anything
# You may need to change this:
alias echoe="/bin/echo -e"

# functions:
func_1 () {
echoe "Yay \n\n"
}
func_2 () {
echoe "Boo \n\n"
}
menu_list () {
clear
                echoe "\n\n\t\tThis is the title\n\n\n"
                echoe "Make your choice: \n"
                echoe "To say Yay, press 1 \n"
                echoe "To say Boo, press 2 \n"
                echoe "To quit, press "q" \n"
}

go_ahead () {
tput smso
echoe "Press any key to return to the menu  \c"
tput rmso
oldstty=`stty -g`
stty -icanon -echo min 1 time 0
dd bs=1 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
stty "$oldstty"
echoe
}
func_select () {
tput smso
echoe "\nPlease make your selection ( )\b\b\c"
read selection
tput rmso
case $selection in
     1) clear ; func_1 ; go_ahead ;; 
     2) clear ; func_2 ; go_ahead ;;
     q|Q) tput rmso ; clear ; exit 0 ;;
esac
}
#
# Here is where is gets looped - basically forever, until
# the "q" option is selected, causing an explicit exit
#

while `true`
do
menu_list
func_select
done
