I am looking for some information about screen formatting using
the MEGAMAX C development system.

I have some games and such that when they are run, basically set up
their own screen environment. i.e. they reset colors and the programs
basically manipulate all of the screen activities. This doesn't appear
to be accomplished through the use of 'windows' since there are no 
v-sliders or h-sliders etc.
 
Where does one go to start understanding how to have a program set up
its' own environment? I want to be able to set colors, take input from 
menus written to the screen, move objects on the screen etc.
 
I appreciate any help you could give me and thanks in advance,
keith hedger
