How do you create two consoles with one program?

Here's the situation. I would like to be able to have to window consoles running by one program. the program is a text adventure game. One window would contain all the info and actions going on. The second window would be an ascii map of your character moving.

Problem is I have no idea where to start and how to do it. I know very little about HANDLEs. I found this page about Console Functions but I have no idea how to use it. I would need to know how to switch between windows back and forth to do actions properly.

any help would be great.

AllocConsole .... "A process can be associated with only one console,"

I think you need another plan, if you were planning on two consoles.

You can create as many GUI windows as you like, and make them "look" like consoles.

That may be the same thing I can use. Is there an easy way to do such a thing? I've never done something like that before. I wouldn't know where to start.
