Yeah, that is easy, but I would like to be able to run any text-based
program in the ncurses window, even an ncurses program. Any ideas of how to
do that?

I hope that the child process isn't using ncurses. If it is, it will
have problems, because it will see that standard output is not a
terminal. This will confuse things.
I assume that the child process is using normal line output. In this
case, the parent process occasionally reads data from the pipe that's
connected to standard output on the other end. As it reads data, it can
reformat it and send it on to ncurses.
That's how I'd do it, anyway.
