Really? And not console as in the PDP8 and DEC-10, precursor to CPM and DOS? Fra nkB 06:07, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That the same convention means the C language in other places seems to establish a pattern, and I was hoping to introduce this pattern early. But I don't have anything more than the pattern to cite for that claim. Would you like to change the explanation?


 * Since this book is in some sense "mine," I should make clear that I'm fine with (and would be grateful for) others editing it within the spirit of "only the things the reader needs." --Jesdisciple (discuss • contribs) 12:29, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
