That's correct.  Unless there is an alias or executable
(script) with that name, it will not register when you 
enter it at the command prompt.

It goes in echo statements (right at the start).
Step 1:  display options on screen using "echo"
Step 2:  get user input using "read"
Step 3:  branch to the appropriate action using "case"
