I think I am getting an inkling of what you want.

That said, your terminal is waiting for you to finish running J before
it accepts any further commands.

Hypothetically speaking, you could be running another terminal
and then sending messages to it using some protocol (perhaps
X window protocol, if it were possible to get at that mechanism
from inside J -- but I am not sure that's possible).

You might have to do some C coding to build a terminal that
will listen to some remote message source.

Alternatively, you could just leave J in the loop -- a simple way
to do that would be to display the result of using 2!:0.

Or, if none of these even approximate what you want, maybe
you could describe the problem you are trying to solve in
greater detail?
