case $CHOICE in

 2) echo $SECOND ;;
 3) echo $LAST ;;
 4) read -p step1: ONE; read -p step2: TWO

hm you are right, doesn't work, somethings wrong with the semicolons

this one should work:

Code:
echo 1. first step
echo 2. second step
echo 3. last step
echo 4. from step:_ to step:

FIRST=hello
SECOND=WORLD
LAST=Bye


FROMTO()
 {
      case $ONE$TWO in
       11) echo $FIRST ;;
       12) echo $FIRST $SECOND ;;
       13) echo $FIRST $SECOND $LAST ;;
       22) echo $SECOND ;;
       23) echo $SECOND $LAST ;;
       33) echo $LAST ;;
      esac
 }

read CHOICE
case $CHOICE in
 1) echo $FIRST ;;
 2) echo $SECOND ;;
 3) echo $LAST ;;
 4) read -p step1: ONE; read -p step2: TWO; FROMTO;;
