That doesn't really answer the question.
Google around PDCurses (for Windows) and NCurses (for Mac and *nix)
That's the library you'll need to use.
You can do it with the Windows API directly, but you'll have an easier time just starting out with Curses.
Oh, and unless your requirements specifically require a console application, you really should look to making a GUI.
Hope this helps.

Make a GUI-based windowed program that emulates a text-based terminal.
