Look up what terminal your console is emulating.  (hint:  think ANSI).

Most likely the basics like "\r" will work to return to the start of a 
line.  But if you want to get more fancy you'll have to look up the 
other escape codes.  If you want to go all portable, consider learning 
ncurses which does most of this for you.
