If you have to run on such diverse multiple platforms as to not be able to 
have messaging then how can you use a DLL, threads or even consider if 
something is console mode?

Almost any windowing operating system has messages and window procedures, 
although what they are called and the specifics of them vary.  You are 
looking to do a platform-specific task and the solution to it will therefore 
be platform-specific.  Figure out how to solve it under each of the target 
OS systems and conditionally compile for each.
