The Okami Shell has a built-in command named `te' which will do exactly this.
However, if you have a C compiler, it's not hard to write:

terminal()
{
  int c;
  long w;
  for(;;)
  {
    c=Bconin(1);	/* read from aux */
    Cconout(c);		/* output read char */
    if (Cconis())	/* only if key was pressed */
    {
      w=Cnecin();	/* read from con */
      if ((w>>16)==EXIT)
	break;		/* terminal exit condition */
      Bconout(1,(int)w);/* output to aux */
    }
  }
}

EXIT should be #defined to be the scancode of the key you want to exit the
terminal with (UNDO for instance).
I am using Gemdos for console I/O so it can be redirected.
