There is something akin to job control on S300 for ASCII terminals -
it is 'shl'.  Try:
$ stty swtch \^z
$ shl

You can now create "sessions"
>>> c sess-a
[layer sess-a created]
[running layer sess-a]
sess-a_

At this point, you are in a shell, "sess-a" is your prompt (a .kshrc might
use it to make a nicer PS1).  Any time you want to allow a foreground
program to continue while you make better use of you time elsewhere on HP-UX,
just type ^z.  You will get another shl prompt (">>>"), and can "c"reate a
new session, or "r"esume another old one.  ("h"elp should get you fully
functional.)  Shl uses a separate pty for each session, so stty settings are
preserved individually.

Shl is functionally similar to an AT&T tool of the same name.  It is built
on a library which uses pty's to emulate an AT&T pseudo-driver called SXT.
