Description

I want a full screen application that looks like this:

|-------------------------|
| other widgets           |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|-------------------------|
| prompt/repl             |
|_________________________| 

Is something like this possible? I can't seem to find any API calls or examples that allow this.
