I have something like this:
______________________
/\ \
\_| 1. Menu entry one |
| 2. Menu entry two |
| The user's choice:X|
| _________________|_
\_/___________________/
I'm working on Linux so I can't use the conio.h to move the cursor to the X position. Besides that writing my own gotoXY function would be pointless because resizing the terminal emulator would screw everything up. How can achieve my goal?

Try messing around with the CSI n B and CSI n D options.
