Lol - read that as “Bush case statement” and was wondering what W had said now :)

The case statement is extremely powerful, and can greatly simplify iterating over multiple options, as opposed to using long 'if ... then ... else' loops. Personally, I think it can make a script more legible than nested loops, which can easily get out of hand. Also, the final "*)" construct makes it easy to validate input. If your input doesn't fit the rather sharply defined criteria, you have an easy place to handle it.
ShadowAce, I'd recommend a post on 'while' loops next, as they are related IMO, one on functions would be cool too.
