Of all the programs that I know that use terminals like this (queue,
screen, expect), I've only seen one ever get it right.  Expect.

The last time I looked at queue and it's terminal stuff, because it wasn't
working on my Linux box, I thought it was pretty much of a mess.

I'd probably suggest that it all be ripped out and steal the stuff from
expect, and try to track it as a reference source.  No since reinventing
the wheel when there is a perfectly good one you already use.
