Console Menu

I have a question that I'm having a hard time wording, therefore, having a hard time finding an answer to. Maybe the good folks of cplusplus can help.

How can I make a menu that is always displayed. For instance:
Lets say you want to display the players current health in the top left corner, even when other things are scrolling. If that makes sense, I hope....

How can I pull something like this off? Basically I want to have a constant menu while everything still takes inputs and scrolls

I donot know how u could do that or if it is even possible.
But what I do is the following

To clear the screen I print around 25 -50 lines
Then I print the scores and stuff. Then after that, a newline and a lot of '-' characters, then a newline and then where the app/game continues

cout << string(50, '\n') << score << topscore()........
