Hi Corona688...
Ignore my last I think I can use KB control during the scan(s) in _REAL_TIME_ without the second terminal...
Thanks for attempting to undestand my gibberish.
The idea was to use the second terminal as a control panel with pseudo-buttons that activated upon pressing a relevant KB character, (INKEY$), sending that character to the main terminal to be acted upon. But I think there might be enough room by overwriting the status window in the original code with small buttons. The idea was to use the second terminal to control external stuff too without affecting the first terminal and if the link was broken the local access by the first terminal would be unaffected and still active...
So FTTB I will take look at the new idea...

PTY(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PTY(4)
NAME
pty -- BSD-style compatibility pseudo-terminal driver
SYNOPSIS
device pty
DESCRIPTION
The pty driver provides support for the traditional BSD naming scheme that was used for accessing pseudo-terminals. When the device
/dev/ptyXX is being opened, a new terminal shall be created with the pts(4) driver. A device node for this terminal shall be created, which
has the name /dev/ttyXX.
New code should not try to allocate pseudo-terminals using this interface. It is only provided for compatibility with older C libraries that
tried to open such devices when posix_openpt(2) was being called.
FILES
The BSD-style compatibility pseudo-terminal driver uses the following device names:
/dev/pty[l-sL-S][0-9a-v] Pseudo-terminal master devices.
/dev/tty[l-sL-S][0-9a-v] Pseudo-terminal slave devices.
DIAGNOSTICS
None.
SEE ALSO
posix_openpt(2), pts(4), tty(4)
HISTORY
A pseudo-terminal driver appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS
Unlike previous implementations, the master slave device nodes are destroyed when the PTY becomes unused. A call to stat(2) on a nonexistent
master device will already cause a new master device node to be created. The master device can only be destroyed by opening and closing it.
The pty driver cannot be unloaded, because it cannot determine if it is being used.
