For the 1st 2 options it should be:


Code:
      .
      .
      .
  1) 'pwd'
     echo "The Above Directory is where your file will be created."; >> /home/
     echo "Make a New Directory, Enter a New DIR NAME please $USER";
     read "dir_name";
     echo mkdir "$dir_name" >> logfile
     mkdir "$dir_name";
     echo "Press Enter key to Continue";
     read enterKey;;


  2) "$(ls -l)"
     echo "Which File Do you want to delete?";
     read fname;
     if [ -d $fname ];
     then echo "Sorry But this file is a Directory and Must be deleted Manually";
     fi;
           
      if [ -f $fname ];
      then
      cp $fname /home/$USER/dsave/$fname$$;
      fi;
      rm -r "$fname"
      echo rm -r "$fname" >> logfile
      echo "Please press the enter Key to continue..."
      read enterKey;;
      .
      .
      .

That's what i've gotten at the start of the script..
But it still isn't giving me a file.

Im a novice, so your going to have to be lil user friendly here.

#!/bin/bash
LOGFILE=/home/$USER/logfiles/`date '+%d%b%y'`.logfile.log

In which case you need to do as Franklin52 has suggested.
