Question A footer for shell script
Hi

My question might sound crazy, but nevertheless, I have made mu mind to ask. Please ignore if I sound absurd.

I have a shell script. When run, this script, prints out a menu to the user and takes the input from the user. It works fine. I just wondered, is it possible to have a 'footer' kind of thing in script?

* Is it possible with shell alone?
* Can we accomplish this through some other means? (Any thing other than shell)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Guru

Maybe curses or ncurses is an option, if you want to code in perl or C or whatever language a curses/ncurses library is provided. Much more effort to write such a menu then though.
