It worked after I also made scripts for wdav etc. I called the menu rad
(first I tried rm for radiomenu, with predictable results) and when I type
rad I see a list
1) wdav
2) kcme
I type 1 for wdav. I can also type wdav to use the wdav script directly.
Since I also want information about each station, I then modified the
select line and substituted for wdav the string 'wdav - 24K, Davidson NC'
etc., which gives me
1) wdav - 24K, Davidson NC 4) .....
2) kcme - 32K, Colorado Springs 5) .....
3) ...
To exit the menu I type Ctrl-C - is there a better way to exit?

You don't even need the aliases if you have scripts wdav etc.
It is just easier for me to keep all my changes in one big file since I
move them around between computers. Your following suggestion would
eliminate the need for more than one script, but then I don't think I
could just type the station name without first using the menu.

For [your command...] would I substitute here the line with
wget and mpg123 instead of needing a script for each station?
I don't know how to add station info (24K) in this method.
