Vga, Microsoft Visual C++

Can anyone tell me exactly how to open a win32 console mode program full screen?(no opengl, directx, MFC, just plain Vga).

btw - can anyone tell me how to print quotes to the screen?
printf("whatever I want to say goes "here""); <- won't work.

I have tried stuff like: /" or "" or "/, i should know this already but I don't.

Compiler = Microsoft Visual C++ | OS = Windows 2000

For the graphics you need a library that handles all screen modes and so on... One I know is Allegro for DJGPP compiler.

printf("Whatever you say goes \"here\"");

Thank you.
