I've been asked what I've learned... It's funny, researching g_io_channel led me to the program gtkterm. I went through the code and found vte and vteterminal. I went through that and was lead back to g_io_channel. I realized I need to sync my palm pilot, and while I was doing that it dawned on me that jpilot is written in gtk, and that it has a window at the bottom of the screen that does something very similar to what I want. That window is a gtk_text_view widget. I've looked at that code and it seems like it should be easy. The vte libraries look promising, but I can't find a decent tutorial document on them.
