Paste script for Unix!

I really need to make a paste script to ease and simplify the UNIX paste facility. I really have NO idea where to start, other than the first line initializing the korn shell.

I'd like the script to be interactive, with options and file names being imputted after the pograms prompts! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
