I want to use xdialog's combobox. Basically it creates a menu list where one can highlight an item and then select OK to run a specific command (there is also a Cancel button). I can create the combobox but need help with the script to run the commands. Let's say the three items in the menu are JOHN PETE KURT. If I select JOHN from menu and click OK, I want to run the command EAT. If selection is PETE then command KICK. If selection KURT then command CATCH. Thanks.

Are you having trouble with the detecting which was clicked or the running the commands?

I'm not sure, perhaps both.

Is this what you want?
Code:
#!/bin/sh
answer=`Xdialog --stdout --title "Title" --combobox "text" 0 0 "JOHN" "PETE" "KURT"`
case "$answer" in
        JOHN)
        echo EAT
        ;;
        PETE)
        echo KICK
        ;;
        KURT)
        echo CATCH
        ;;
 esac


If EAT, KICK and CATCH are real commands change echo to exec.
