Also try "Advanced C Programming for Displays" by Marc Rochkind (Prentice-
Hall, 1988).  This book discusses the implementation of an editor and 
windows for character displays using termcap and curses for UNIX(tm) and
using BIOS calls and memory-mapped video for an IBM PC.  Curses comes out
being pretty slow.
