Either it's screen, or a text based window-manager, which you can find on
freshmeat. BTW, screen is a text-based, full-screen window-manager.

When you first start screen, it comes up with one terminal. To create a
new one, you hit CTRL-a _SPACE_ c, to quit that window, type 'exit', or
hit CTRL-d. To switch windows, either hit CTRL-a _SPACE_, or CTRL-a
CTRL-a. To get help, hit CTRL-a ?. To detach from screen (like vnc to run 
stuff in the background) hit CTRL-a d.

Here are the keybindings
CTRL-a Action key
all stuff below is after you hit the action key:

CTRL-d exit window/screen
a -switch windows
c -create new window
? -get help
d -detach screen
_SPACE_ - switch windows
