I am afraid I have no idea what you are asking. Could you perhaps rephrase it? (I believe I am not the only one here who is not sure - hence the no responses).
i don't think most standard compilers support programmers with more than 4 red boxes - Misplaced

There is no standard function called "locate". Are you referring to the use of LOCATE in BASIC or another language? C/C++ are very limited as far as dealing with output - that's what external libraries are for. You may find one of these libraries helpful. conio is a common one.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
that library is very usefull thanks! i just want to know how to locate my text to the console im using dev-c++. if there is no such function as ive seen for making a windows application dont blame ive been programming for 2 weeks, give me some credit.
DEV-C++ can use the win32 API.
Look, a FAQ

Try compiling that in dev-c++ and see what happens.

Oddly enough, I was just about to say "you might be interested in my console tutorial", but I see I was beaten!
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
perfect thank you, hope i wasnt a bother.
