Code:

                // Read three lines into the same buffer.
                if(!fgets(buf, 4096-bpos, stdin)) break;          //To help my understanding, can I do this, as bpos is set 0 before the loop?
                bpos = strlen(buf);                               // could be more efficient but you get the idea
                if(!fgets(buf+bpos, 4096-bpos, stdin)) break;
                bpos = strlen(buf);
                if(!fgets(buf+bpos, 4096-bpos, stdin)) break;

Yes, you can. I have 3 lines exactly the same because I was going to put them into a loop, but didn't, to make it clearer.
