Screen Buffers Not Defined

[JustaSimpleUser]

The concept of screen buffers is neither described nor linked on this page, or even this page sufficiently early to understand the API structure and requirements. Since screen buffers are integral to the utility of console programming they should be presented before any detailed coverage of the API functions and examples.

For example, on this page, 5th para, 1st sentence, the text "I/O screen buffers" should be a link to a page describing the relationship between buffers and the console output, perhaps such as this page.

I found the lack of early description about how screen buffers relate to the console inhibited my understanding of the API.
