Ok, so far that sounds about right. I believe I have a book that details
how to do that. However, I still need to figure out how to make the child
process use the ncurses window as its output. I want ncurses in the child
process to think that its output window is the size of the window, and make
it so that it would (through ncurses render things correctly).

I'm a little light on details, but I think you're going to want to
create 1 or 2 pipes before you fork, and then reassign file descriptors
to 0 and 1 before execing, so that they become standard input and
standard output for the child process.
I can't think of any easier way to do it, and it's actually not all that
bad.
