Well, I have a fair idea what you want. But I cannot conceive of a way to do it using the 3270 data stream. Personally, I'd go with having some way to invoke the debugger via HTTP, using a web browser. Then use AJAX to implement the "windowing" within the browser itself with a Java app or Javascript.
