First things first...
Thanks once again "P Purkayastha" ( which sounds too formal, but ":P" just
don't feel right... Would it be ok if I just thought of you as "ppurka" ??)
This is NOT the first time you have selflessly offered your scripting
skills for my benefit. I can't thank you enough for pointing me at your
e17_setup.sh script (You should probably consider inserting some copyright
stuff in scripts of that quality) Speaking of which, I have pointed others
at your download link, I hope you don't mind...
Now about the "part" of another of your scripts (below)... I must confess
that my scripting skills are not in your league. And I'm trying to
understand a few new concepts...

At this point I'd probably use emprint...

I've never seen this:
"$(displaymessage --radiolist "text" "value1" "text (value1)" on "value2"
"text (value2)" off --title "text" --center)"
construct before?? No clue how it works. Though I can deduce it's purpose.
So since a nice C programmer once gifted me with a getchr.c utility And I'm
more comfortable with using echo, case and getchr, I'd probably have
accomplished something like the above with:
# begin code
# Query the image quality
echo "What is the quality of screenshot you desire?
Type a 'P' for Lossless Quality (png)
- or -
Type a 'J' for Lossy Quality (jpeg)
Select Quality of screenshot
"
QUALITY="$(getchr [jJpP])"
case $QUALITY in
j|J)QUALITY="jpeg";;
p|P)QUALITY="png";;
*)echo "input error";
exit;;
esac
# end code
Did I correctly deduce what your "displaymessage" construct does???
Actually I've cobbled together the script I'm going to be using for this.
I decided to use a true cli based model rather than using interactive
choices. I'd be curious to know what you think of it. It can currently
be found at:

And do have a nice day.
