The best way is to use a curses library. PDCurses is a free public domain version of Curses that is available for Windows. It has the advantage of both being portable, and much simpler to use than the Win32 Console API. But it, for whatever reason, you don't want to deal with a third party library, you can use the Win32 Console API. Here's a link the documentation for it:
