Code:
case $choice in
1) whoison # calls the e-mail function

2) thecal # calls the whoison function
;;
3) whereami # calls the thedate function

4) changedir # changes the directory

5) listfiles # lists files in current directory

6) thedate # displays the date & time
;;
7) startvi # starts vi
;;
8) theemail # start e-mail

9) echo "Thank you for running this program!";
exit 0
;;
*) echo "Invaild option; try running the program again.";
exit 0
;;

Hello,
put your case statement into an endless loop like this:
while :
do
# your case
done
In your case statement the oprion "9" will end the loop.
