I am looking for a 2 window shell.

Here is the scenario. You start the application. The $ prompt comes up on
the top of window A. The login goes on as usual until you get to the bottom
of screen A. When at the bottom of the screen and you do a command, the top
text usually scrolls up off of window A, never to be seen again. What I think
would be usefull is to have the scrolled text show up on the bottom of window B
where it starts to scroll. An example is when you do a cat foo, where foo
is file that holds a list of numbers, you get something like seen in the diagram.
Is this possible already? If not, would this be hard to do?
Thanks
