As I mentioned in a previous mail, read under fish is actually a
fullblown prompt. I'd suggest you use this to your advantage by
replacing:
echo 'Select Option [1 - 5 or x to Return] :'
tput cup 10 38
read menu
with:
read -p 'echo "Select Option [1 - 5 or x to Return] : "' menu
If you do not want the prompt, you can specify 'read -p ""', but that
will still move the cursor to the leftmost part of the screen. You
will also notice that the read command has all the features of the
regular fish shell, like a history list, X clipboard support, etc.
