There is a utility called 'screen' to handle this. It's packaged for
Debian. You'd run your program in a screen session in one window ('screen
mutt' for example). You could then detach the screen session from that
window using CTRL-A CTRL-D. The process is still running, but not in the
original xterm or virtual console. Then, from another tty, you could do a
'screen -r' to re-attache the screen session to the current tty.
I don't know of any other way to do something like this.
