Hello every one,
can any one solve my following problem.

I am using ncurses to write a simple editor cum emulator application 

everything is fine while using multiple ncurses screen-terminals(1) on single 
gnome-terminal 
I am also able to display different ncurses screen-terminals(1) on different 
already created gnome-terminals (by opening device files /dev/pts/n)(2)
in case (2) asll worked fine i could read and write to all terminals just by 
using set_term(SCREEN*)

except that i am not able to do the following:
I want to use more than one gnome-terninal for display BUT i want to CREATE the 
gnome terminal from within the program by calling a function AND also get a 
file pointer or the newly creatred device file's path and name. so that i can 
use the pointer to display my ncurses screen.(3)

HAS ANYONE used more than one gnome-terminal or xterm to display more than one 
ncurses-screen
BASICALLY I want to use more than one xwindow (like xterm window) for 
displaying  ncurses-screens
FINALLY CAN I create a gnome-terminal or xterm  from program by a function call 
and get the dev fiel handle back???


1. created using newterm(null,stdout,stdin) 
2. these terminals were launched from bash commond prompt (say dev/pts/4, 
dev/pts/5 have been created) 
    then i displayed the ncurses-screens on the terminals but here i created 
newterms as follows
   newterm(  file_pointer_of (/dev/pts/n) , stdout,stdin)
3. i know i can launch new gnome-terminal by fork() and execvp() combination 
BUT i dont get a handle or not even come to know the file has been created or 
NOT
