I Currently have a menu which performs the



  1. Show the manual path.

  2. Allow an item to be added to the manual path.

  3. Set the manual path to “/man”.

  4. Enter a filename

  5. Edit the file

  6. Ask the user how many lines to display of the head of the file and display them.

  7. Ask the user how many lines to display of the tail of the file and display them.

  8. Display a listing of processes in long listing.

  9. Ask the user for the name of a user and count how many processes that named user is running.

i have managed to get everything working expect 2,3 , as i keep getting a "this not a valid identfier code message



the code which is called when press three is
PATH = $PATH:/man;;



which is to set the manual path to /man
