i need help wit this unix/linux project!!! anybody a computer engineer?

[kinfo]

these are the instructions...

In the ‘is229’ directory (parent of your home directory) there is a data file called 'students.' Copy this data file to a 'stuproject' directory you create under your own home directory. The student data file (students) has the following format (each record):

Student # : Last Name : First Name Mid. Init : Quiz Avg : MidTerm Score : Problem Score : Final Exam Score

As indicated, the colon (':') is the field separator character. Note that the first name and middle initial fields are ONE field (no colon between them, but there is a space between them).

Perform the following programming tasks using the above data file:

1. Create a MENU program which provides the following options:

A - Add A Student
C - Calculate Student Grades
D - Delete A Student
V - View Student Data File
Q - Quit
This menu program should behave like the 'phmenu' program from the text: it should accept either upper or lower case responses and it should clear the screen each time it asks for a new selection. Call this program stumenu and put it (and all other programs) in the StuProject directory.

I just need to know where to start lol
