I'm looking for a "window manager" for character based terminals.

The basic requirements are:

	- Ability to maintain at least two "screens" and to toggle
	  between them.

	- Ability to split each screen in at least two parts, each
	  part "connected" to a process.

	- The processes writing to the screen, should NOT be aware of
	  the fact that they are actually talking to this "window
	  manager".

	- Output from an idle process, i.e. a process that don't have
	  access to the keyboard input, should be display without delay.


On top of these basic requirements, it would be nice have any, or all,
of these:

	- Ability to handle "any" number of "windows", each connected
	  to a process.

	- Each "window" should be adjustable in size.

	- A stack of "windows" and functions for poping/pushing.


Anyone out there who knows of such a beast? It might be a commercial
product or PD, it doesn't matter.

Regards

P.S.

If this "window manager" exists AND is combined with a menu handler,
I'd be more than happy!
