It looks like you are using curses so I will answer with that 
assumption.  If you use the command nonl() it will turn off the mapping 
of a carriage return on a newline.  I think this will give you the 
behavior you are seeing.
I haven't tried using curses with Ruby yet so am not entirely sure of 
some of it's behavior.
