- I wish to create a bourne shell menu which will read the cursor
- keys and scroll a highlighted bar across a list of menu items.
- I wish for return on a menu item to select that menu item.
-
- Sounds alot like curses I know.
-
- I dont want the solution to be entirely bourne shell (ie: I do
- not wish to write a supporting C routine to perform any subtasks).
- I also do not wish to have to write a termcap.
-
- Is this possible or is it too much to ask of bourne shell?
-
- Thanks (I hope) in advance,
-
- Pat
