Console Programming

I've been wondering about console programming. Not the book example type stuff, but the 'real' console programming. Stuff that seems to use things like ncurses, or something like that I assume. I found a good tutorial on what I'm looking for:

but I'm wanting something that goes a little more in depth, or just tells a little more about that.
If I'm making it hard to understand just let me know and I'll revise.

Thanks.

quite frankly I don't think there are a whole lot of programs out there in the commercial world that use win32 api console functions very extensively -- most programs have GUI front ends. But here is a link to some example programs.

Well it's not really for commercial use. It's more becuase I'm interested in it. And actualy, I'm really talking about a console program within a GUI program.
I.E: You've got a GUI, but the main window has a section that looks like a console window, and that's where most of the input and output is. I've seen quite a few buinesses using programs like this, and they always interest me because of the speed at which someone (who knows the program) can work. But like I said, I'm doing this more from personal interest, than trying to make a commercial app.

Here is one example of how that's done.
