You need to be more specific. Do you mean a single letter?
Or do you mean a phrase or sentence? Like a marquis or banner?
Can you give an example?

Also, what kind of program is this? DOS? Win16? EasyWin?
Win32? Console? GUI? Which compiler & version?

When you say "on the dialog", what specifically are you referring to?

A simple DOS example may be something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main()
{
    char temp, banner[] = ".........Hello, World!........";
    int i;
    printf("\n");
    for(i=0; i<60; ++i)
        {
        printf("%s\r", banner);
        delay(250);
        temp = banner[0];
        memmove(banner, banner+1, sizeof banner - 2);
        banner[strlen(banner)-1] = temp;
        }
    return 0;
}
