Assuming a UNIX machine, then simpy determine your tty device
and open "/dev/ttyxxxx" as your filename. In this way, I have
redirected the output of several "subsystems" within a program
to multiple pre-existing xterm devices. You can simply prompt
the user for the device names when the program starts.
In the past, I've kept a list of the desired tty devices
in a separate file which is read by the program. This file
has to be updated each time a new set of xterm's are opened.
With a combination of startup shell scripts and
a wrapper script which opens all the needed xterm's this file
can be automatically setup.
