Yes it will, you just have to use the Windows API.  Example: http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=30204&lngWId=1

Of course, you have to ask yourself whether it's worth having to bend over backwards to get a console application working with Visual Basic when a) VB is clearly designed for making GUIs, fast, and b) it'd actually be easier to do it with something which has native character-mode I/O, such as C or C++.

Something's easier than VB!?

VB .NET has the ability to make console apps, but really isn't suited for bot making because of the .NET Framework Update required to be run.

VB.NET == C#.NET == C++.NET

What's the common denominator? .NET.
The only difference is syntax.
