By definition, echo appends a <newline> character to its input arguments in the output it produces. Try using printf instead of echo:
Some non-standard implementations of echo provide an option to avoid printing the terminating <newline>, but printf as shown above should work portably no matter what operating system or shell you're using.
Note that showing us your actual code instead of pseudo-code and telling us what operating system and shell you're using is always much clearer than trying to guess at how pseudo-code might relate to actual code.

I have a slight problem controlling the cursor position in a Bash terminal window. I have a function ask a question and then wait for an answer which is either 'y' or 'n' or a carriage return.

NAME
DtEditorSetInsertionPosition -- set the position of the insert cursor in a DtEditor widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h>
void DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position);
DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function sets the insertion cursor position of the DtEditor widget. The current position of the insertion
cursor can be retrieved with DtEditorGetInsertionPosition(3). The last text position of the DtEditor widget can be retrieved with DtEditor-
GetLastPosition(3).
The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.
The position argument specifies the position of the insertion cursor. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the
text buffer. The first character position is zero. Values greater than the last position place the cursor at the last position (that is,
at the end of the text).
For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).
RETURN VALUE
The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function returns no value.
