MultiView is a windowing package that uses pseudo-ttys for character-based
terminals and consoles.  We've used it here extensively, and SCO used it
as the basis for Office Portfolio.  It permits multiple windows to be
active simultaneously, either fullscreen or reduced (although not, of course,
scaled!).

I love it.  I've got a mail window, news window, a shell on the local 
machine and a shell on a remote machine at all times.  I put up and drop
other windows as necessary.

I think it's about $295 or $395 list price.  WELL worth it.  It's available
as SCO MultiView from SCO and their distributors.
