Is it possible to have anything you write to appear in one or two lines at the bottom, and anything outputted to appear as normal. If so is there a good tutorial on it, for c++ or if anyone had any pointers about what function I could look up. I would greatly appreciate it.

It's been a while since I've done this but im pretty sure this is what you want:
clicky

this function in particular: setconsolecursorposition()

setconsoletextattribute is also way groovy for doing color.

cheers, but that isn't what I was looking for, I have three threads, two dealing with output and one with input.

So if something is being written and printed at the same time they mix.

I have decided to change my project into a win32 project, eliminating the problem.
