you know, it is not a bad idea to read the documentation occasionally.

info libc func conio

does this help:

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(void)
{
	srand(time(0));
	while(1)
	{
		int i;
		clrscr();
		for(i = 0; i < 20; ++i)
		{
     			gotoxy(5, i);
			textcolor((rand()%6)+1);
			cputs("0123456789");
           }
		if( getch() == 'q' )
			break;
	}
	textmode(C80);
	return 0;
}
