I didn't get any responses to my first posting. The only way I can see
to do this is to create the process with

	TTY_ARGV,  TTY_ARGV_DO_NOT_FORK,

and then use
    dup2((int)xv_get(t_sw, TTY_TTY_FD), 0); 
    dup2((int)xv_get(t_sw, TTY_TTY_FD), 1); 
    initscr();	/* curses */

and compile the program with the curses library.

I would then have to fork/attach the process myself.
Is this the way to do it? Yuck!
