Full Screen Script prob

[jackjill]

Hi all,
i'm new in linux environment and have a v.tough task. Please help me how to initiate it.
give me some expample scripts..
the prob def is :

* i am trying to write a full-screen utility, that displays the permissions of a directory and all the directories in the directory's path. it will also show other information about the directories, as the cursor is moved up and down the list of directory names.

* i'm also using a Windows telnet session, because that is how I will be testing the script. I use the Windows version of QVT/Term.

please tell me how to solve this prob.
thanks in advance

Check out the scripting tool "dialog". I think it's in Linux. Should be. 'man dialog' to check. It gives you a ncurses type of menu system that you can use for scripts.
