If you want examples, you can have a look at the source for emacs, vi,
joe and others, including my own editor
(http://www.tssc.co.nz/~bcurrie/ed.tar).  Don't worry, it *IS*
compressed, it's just six .zip files collected into one package (you
still have to grab zlib-1.04 and python-1.4 (and djpy.zip) for it to
build), which shows ONE way of doing the text buffer.
