put that in a thread using CreateThread or something then just put a while(cin >> data) loop in your main()

void* OutputThread(){ while(1) // loop forever { cout << something; // data goes here }} put that in a thread using CreateThread or something then just put a while(cin >> data) loop in your main()
hope that helps

However, you also want to be able to erase what you''ve typed (using the backspace key, right?)
cin and cout are not to be thought of as functions; they''re objects, which means they have methods (very useful methods) that can provide more refined behavior. Look into basic_istream::get(), basic_istream::putback() and basic_istream::read().
