This should get you started
#! /bin/bash
echo -n "Enter value: "
read -e VALUE1
echo Value 1 is $VALUE1
Of course you need to add a loop and other items. Perl would definately be much better for something like this.
#! /bin/bash
echo -n "Enter value: "
read -e VALUE1
echo Value 1 is $VALUE1

I pretty much taught myself from this alone:
