Sounds like you want to use the Console features of PureBasic.

These will open a standard black console screen with which to display
the ANSI data, along with commands like ConsoleLocate(x,y) etc.

I have no experience with terminal programming so I can't be of much
help, but check out the Console commands and see if they aren't what
you need...

well i know i can use the console but the whole
idea is to do it in a window not in a console
i already did a terminal in a console few years ago
so i want to port it into a window terminal.
but i dont know with what to put it...
drawing is not effective cuz u need to use CUT/PASTE
i am sure there is a way of doing it...

check out this telnet clinet
