The 15 spaces (16 actually in your example) reflect the fact that the
cursor was left in column 17 after the "Pass till" prompt was
displayed.  As echo was disabled, your response _and_ the terminating
carriage-return weren't echoed, but you _did_ get a free line-feed as
the read terminated, simply moving the cursor down the the next line,
but remaining in column 17.  Add:

  ECHO ![CHR(13)]

after the SET ECHO=ON to supply the carriage-return to move the cursor
back to the left margin, albeit on the next line, as this ECHO will
generate yet-another line-feed.  If you're using this command-file on
an HP terminal (or terminal emulator), change the echo to:

  ECHO ![CHR(27)]A
