(n)curses has a "newterm" call to support multiple terminals, in the
initscr manpage, if you're interested in following it up.

Further, libreadline allows you to set an input and an output
stream, so you can at the very least at libreadline support, though
I don't know how well libreadline would handle switching context in
a single threaded app. :)
