Here is a sample script
--------------Start ------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if test "$OPSYSTEM" = "TANDEM"
then
VIEWER="more"
else
VIEWER="less"
fi
menu=""
while test "$menu" != "x"
do
tput clear
tput smso
echo 'Sample menu'
tput rmso
echo '1. Show disk space'
echo '2. Show uptime'
echo '3. Show /var/log/messages'
echo '4. Show /etc/hosts'
echo '5. Show network configuration'
echo 'x. Exit to shell'
echo ''
echo 'Select Option [1 - 5 or x to Return] :'
tput cup 10 38
read menu
tput clear
case $menu in
'1')
df -H
;;
'2')
uptime
;;
'3')
tail /var/log/messages
;;
'4')
cat /etc/hosts | $VIEWER
;;
'5')
ifconfig | $VIEWER
;;
esac
echo '** Press <ENTER> **'
read press
done
--------------End ------------------------
To use the menu create a file call menu.sh and paste the above in.
Save the file, using chmod add the execute permission. Run the script.
It should display a menu of 5 options. The header should be printed in
bold. The cursor should be placed after the statement
"'Select Option [1 - 5 or x to Return] :".

It sounds like fish resets the terminal when it shouldn't. Could you
provide me with a short example script and how to use it so that I can
test further?
