MENU question/problem

[Scott]

My permissions were wrong.  I did not have
30-menu.source chmod'ed to 755.  Now that I have
corrected that, and I am using this example code:
#! /bin/sh

/tmp/ip
     dialog --title "FAI (Fully Automatic
Installation)" \
          --menu "Choose the type of installation:" 15
64 6 \
               SCOREBOARD "Scoreboard Plasma
Controller" \
                    SCORING "Judges scoring control
laptops" \
                         2>$tmp 1>/dev/console
                         
                         
                         
                         clear
                         
                         # define the new class
                         catnc 'cat $tmp'
                         rm -f $tmp
                         
                         dialog --title "FAI"
--inputbox "Input desired hostname:" 10 30
                         2>$tmphostname 1>/dev/console
                         clear
                         hostname -F $tmphostname
                         
                         dialog --title "FAI"
--inputbox "Input desired IP Address:" 10
                         30 2>$ip 1>/dev/console
                         clear
                         
That I found here:
http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060207.135149.89d24ccb.en.html
but that does not work for me. I do see the menu, but
I get errors starting with "/tmp/ip: No such file or
directory" to a Hostname syntax error.  I was hoping
that there was a working example of a class that will
take typed input (say a new IP address) and actually
change the IP address to what the user types in.  If
there is not a working example, could someone please
point me to where I could find info on how to do it? 
I have looked through the wiki and searched this
mailing list archive and I cannot seem to find the
info.  

Thank you
