This is an example of why I would like to see integration between
Session Manager and ISPF. However, in this case the problem is not the
layering, or integrity, it's that the TGET/TPUT interface is designed
to give the application full control of the terminal. What is
needed[1] is some sort of virtual terminal mapped onto the 3270 screen
by, e.g., VTIOC. 

[1] At least, the easiest fix.
