When I run the script, the cursor starts on the wrong line?
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data: It's a shell script using a looping logic, trap, tput, if, while. Most of the scripts in this book aren't written for Ubuntu (which is what I'm running) but are supposed to be run on Knoppix or UNIX, so I've found quirks and I'm curious if this is one of them.
Everything seems to be working fine except where the cursor starts for the end user. Instead of starting where the Phone Number line is, it starts at Last Name. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Everything else executes fine.
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
tput, if there's really not much to this...
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts): I thought this might be a quirk because the book isn't written for Ubuntu, but rather for Knoppix, UNIX or Fedora. I've found several instances where I've had to change a few syntaxes to get things to work right.
I've changed from dash to bash (thank you Google) and that did get one of my other scripts working correctly.
4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course): Northern Virginia Community College, (I'm taking the class online so I've never actually been to the campus, but I think it's in Alexandria, VA), Leon Nicely, ITN-171
(This doesn't actually have to be turned in and isn't required, but I'm doing it to understand my actual homework...which is a bit sad)
Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

So, every time I start my computer, I have to run this command

This is on a CentOS box, I have two scripts that need to run in order.

Hi there.
It's easier to explain this with a pseudo code, I hope this makes sense:
var1=hello
echo $var1
some kind of loop
echo loop counter
done
How do I hold the cursor position immediately behind the last output so I'd get something like:

mkcover
MKCOVER(8C)MKCOVER(8C)NAME
mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/fax/bin/mkcover qfile template result
DESCRIPTION
bin/mkcover is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
be retried. It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities and transmitted as the cover
page. The arguments are:
qfile the job description file for the outbound job.
template the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.
result the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.
The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document. The
template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not the
template file contains compressed data.
