Subject: Re: is possible to edit text field in console?

For console-based apps, you really would do well with the NCurses  
library.

The best documentation of it is a book that just came out by Dan  
Gookin. Good writer. His work kicked off the entire line of for  
Dummies books (even though some books in that line are terrible, but  
not his).
NCurses is a  C library, but there are some Ruby bindings to it.
