I'm getting closer! Here is my latest script
-----------Start -------------------
#!/usr/bin/fish
if test "$OPSYSTEM" = "TANDEM";
function VIEWER; more; end
else
function VIEWER; less; end
end
set menu ""
while test "$menu" != "x";
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
switch $menu
case 1
df -H
case 2
uptime
case 3
tail /var/log/messages
case 4
cat /etc/hosts | VIEWER
case 5
ifconfig | VIEWER
end
echo '** Press <ENTER> **'
set press ""
read press
end
-----------End -------------------
The menu prints fine, the reverse video works and the menu options function.
However the tput cup command still misses the spot I get the following
output
-----------Start -------------------:
Sample menu
1. Show disk space
2. Show uptime
3. Show /var/log/messages
4. Show /etc/hosts
5. Show network configuration
x. Exit to shell
Select Option [1 - 5 or x to Return] :
read>
-----------End -------------------
The prompt is placed after the "read>" statement. I'm not sure were the
"read" label comes from, I didn't ask for.

Oh, right. Never tried those alternatives. Here is how to do this
properly in fish:
if test "$OPSYSTEM" = "TANDEM";
function viewer; more; end
else
function viewer; less; end
end
...
case 4
cat /etc/hosts | viewer
case 5
ifconfig | viewer
end
