how do you create a "system chat"

Here is the problem.I'm writing a texas hold'em prog in c++.so far it has no problems.However,I need to know how to make a program output all the information about bets,actions (for example,player 1 check,fold, or raise.)and things like that in it's own separate area.I've been looking around,and I've got only 2 ideas how to make it.separate window,or a text-box.I don't think that text-box will do it,honestly.

Here's the idea of what it should look like:

Any thoughts on this one?

You won't be able to do that with standard C++ alone, but you can do it with the ncurses library.

Ok, thanks for the idea.
