New to Ruby; need some help

I am still working with console apps and do not see myself moving away
from command line any time in the near future. However with one of
the apps I am working on, I need something that writes the time in the
bottom right hand corner and updates it every 1 second.
This is the box below (I hope this works lol).

Basically something that looks like that.

I know some C++ and Java, but all the apps I write for those are
GUI... so frankly, I have no idea what to call what I am looking for,
so Google is not much help :(

Thanks for all the help,
Chris Mays
