Please find a Windows programming newsgroup. This one is for the C++
programming language. Also Google can help. MSDN also contains a lot of
console programming examples.

Best place to ask this is in one of the comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.*
groups, since this is more about Windows than about C++.

The way to create a 'standard' text mode C++ program in
Windows, is to configure your compiler or IDE to create
a 'console application'. You can also call Windows API
functions from that program if you like. Information
about how to do this is included in the documentation
for almost any Windows-targeted C++ implementation (e.g.
VC++, Borland C++ Builder), as well as at www.msdn.microsoft.com

Further inquiries about this should go to a Windows
programming group or perhaps one about the compiler
you're using. One general Windows programming group
that comes to mind is comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
Many more exist, you can use www.groups.google.com and/or
www.usenet.org and/or a search engine to locate them.
