Chris,
Two libraries come to mind: ruby-ncurses and highline. I presume from 
your C:\ that you are on a Windows platform, so you would have to 
download the ncurses source code separately to install the gem, if you 
go that route. Someone with more Windows experience might be able to 
chime in if you need more info there. The ruby implementation of ncurses 
is known (last I heard) to be a bit incomplete, however.

Anyway, have a look at the rdocs and see if either might suite your 
needs:

http://allgems.ruby-forum.com/gems/doc/ncurses/0.9.1

HTH,
Howard
