You will be creating a phone menu GUI using the Linux $$tput cup$$ command. This command will place the cursor at a particular row and column on the screen.

The program has been provided for you. You will need to carefully enter the program and test it before submitting your work.

There are several modifications you can make to your $HOME$/.$profile.

export PATH$="$$$\{$PATH$\}$:$"$

export PS$1="[\backslash$e$[0$;$30$m$\backslash$W$\backslash [$$$($tput sgr$0)\backslash ]]"$

alias ls$=\text{'}$ls $$color$=$none'

Adding a colon to your path allows Linux to search for commands in the current directory. Exporting your PS$1$ as shown above will display the current folder in black as your prompt. The alias for ls turns off color for ls output.

Additionally, you may want to turn off color for vi by creating a $.$vimrc file containing:

syntax off

$2.$ You will also need to create two directories under your $HOME directory which are:

ab$\_$Assignment$\_12$C

ab$\_$Assignment$\_12$C$/$tmp

where f is the students first letter of their first name and l is the first letter of their last name.

$3.$ You will be creating a hidden file named $.$myfuncs. Linux default is not to display dot files $($files with a dot or period as their first character$).$ You will need to turn on the option in WinSCP to view these files:

Options $>$ Preferences $>$ Panels

Make sure the Show hidden files $($Ctrl$+$Alt$+$H$)$ is checked.

All the files we will be creating will be in the directory located under $HOME$/$ab$\_$Assignment$\_12$C $($where a is the students first letter of their first name and b is the first letter of their last name.$)$

phonemenu File

The first file we will need to create is the phonemenu file.
