CURSES is a screen handling package, living in the UNIX world for quite a time.
It is part of the UNIX distribution of most vendors, BSDish or AT&T.
Try to get your hand on any UNIX Programmer's reference and look for 
curses(3X) or the like.
There is also a number of books on curses in the computer bookstores. 
If you browse through some Computer Language or Dr.Dobbs journals, you
can also find ads for DOS-based curses, emulating their UNIX counterpart.
Won't have to write all yourself ...
