Anyone wanna take a crack at this?
Display “File Maintenance Script” in the title bar
Clear the screen
Display a menu of options for delete, rename or exit
Using called procedures, either delete all files in H:\scripts, rename all files so that they have the extension .bak, or simply exit the program

I'm sorry, but Do Your Own Homework. Or at least make an attempt at it.

Thanks

I am not doing any complex DB extraction or anything.
Not to be harsh or anything, and I'm happy to help you with a part that you're stuck on. But me (and everyone else) don't want you to get marked on something you didn't write.
Thanks.

You should have at least tried to do it. Post some of your attempts; it shows us that you actually want to get it done, and not simply let us do your homework.
Also the fact that you were "disguising" the fact that it was homework is annoying; when you say "Anyone want to take a crack at this," you're making it sound as if it's supposed to be a brainteaser for us to solve. But it's pretty easy to tell that it's your homework, so why not say so?

Sorry I apologise I thought I would have had more time to respond, but with the holiday and all, anyway I am sorry. I did not mean to insult you. If I did I humbly take it back. I just have a joking-around sense of humor and I guess you'd have to know me to know that. So once again I apologize :-( to :-) I appreciate you comments on the code I am posting below. I am on the road and do not have access to a compilier so forgive any obvious errors. I am sure there is a simplier way but this is my first crack into scripting so here goes...

- Although this is shell scripting, it's certainly Windows, and not Linux. And since I'm running Linux/BSD, I can't test any modifications I make on the code, even if I could understand Windows shell scripting.
- You don't need a compiler to run this code. COMMAND.EXE simply "interprets" the code, so there's no compilation necessary.
