What you want to do is interesting, but there is no way to do it in Icon
right now. To do it you need an interface to UNIX pseudo-tty's and Icon
doesn't presently have one. There are a lot of neat things like this that
we'd like to do, but without industry sponsorship there are no resources
for this kind of development. Given our limited resources, we add features
directly relevant to our research and occasionally code is contributed from
someone in the user community who has extended Icon in an important way.
