You might be looking for a thing called screen it makes multiple
consoles(windows) in any terminal (not just xterm) you can get it form any
of the GNU mirrors eg...
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/gnu/screen/
its pretty good once you get it working properly and it'll allow you to
suspend the windows and reattach them to a different session and lots of
other handy things.
