Thanks every one for your help. Actually I was trying to find out that using
the shell and all text based processing was there a way to to display a
message without refreshing the screen. Unfortunately there is none, unless
one decides to use some other tool such as fmli or use cursors libraries.
Below is my simple version, which always displays the menu for user unless
user presses x or X to exit out of the menu.
this does refreshes the screen though.
My sincere thanks and regards to you all.

I am usingf ksh. I am using clear to clear the screen and display the error
message at bottom. It works fine , but the question is can you do this with
out refreshing the screen.

What shell is the script written in? Are you using case to resolve your
selections??? If you are have clear as the first command run on correct
choices...
