mouse interactions

In my previous post (http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/58715/) I forgot to ask:

Is there a way to enable mouse interactions with c++ program ? By that I mean, when I type in cout << "Help"; for example. If user clicks that word then text for helping will come up.

Is it possible and if it is, how can I do it?

I guess it might be possible to do that, but not with standard C++. I bet one of the guru's here know of a C or C++ library that you can use for that. The last time I did something like that was using Turbo Vision in Turbo Pascal 6 from Borland. But I must warn you: Turbo Vision code looked A LOT like Windows. Meaning: It may be simpler to just create a GUI application and leave console programs in the past.
Clicking in console ? How can I do ?
