[oyvxnxft] UI for ongoing computation

In one window, command line interaction.  In a different window, a continuously running program, constantly emitting output.

We need ways for the two to interact:  Send a line of input to the continuously running program.  Maybe the continuously running program can monitor individual keystrokes into the command window.  Commands issued from the command line interaction allowing freezing and capturing some portion of the continuous output.

All this seems fairly easy.  The continuously running program window should overwrite rather than scroll, because rapid scrolling is impossible to read so useless.  And more features.
