----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In aixterm, you can write to the statusline. 

In the ksh, define the function

# echos() { echo "\033[?1T\033[K<<<$1>>>\033[0;10m\033[?F\033[A";}

and then

# echos "This is in the statusline!"

But this will only work under aixterm.
