You know when you're typing and the cursor advances to the next line and say you would like to go back and correct an error. How would you make this possible in the windows console?
Also, how do you get around the 128 character limit? I'm allowing input to be limited to 300 characters.
I'm using Borland C++ 4.5 as my compiler.
There a many different ways of getting console input. Don't limit yourself to just one. Check out the FAQs.

Use a compiler specific method for reading keystrokes. Read each keystroke at a time directly and put it all in a buffer. Test for backspace, and if it is encoutnered, back up one space in your buffer. This way there is no limit on input.
The curses library or something similar would allow manipulation of the cursor.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
