This is an inherentely OS bounded question. For DOS, you can do this with
the conio binding that comes with EZ2LOAD, for Win32, NT_Console does this
sort of thing. For linux there is the curses binding, etc.
Two years ago I tried to get people to agree on a singe console control
package standard, but there was, alas, no interest in this...
