cout<< only in box in corner
I wish to cout<< in this case "blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh";
in a small box in the corner of my console and only in the small box in my console...
however i don't want to have to alter my text every time i do it so it fits...
I just want to type " blahhhhhhhhhhhh" and if the box ends half way in between " blahhhhhhhhhhhh" then it simply cout<<s the rest on the next line...
This is what i have....
thought about it donno how to do it from here...]
