I'll try it when I get a moment, but I'll take your word for it for now. From the screenshots it looks to me very much like it'll be a single scrolling viewport, though, with a line of input at the end. So, at heart, differing in some of the details, but no more than a few, a printer printing on a long roll of paper...

They could be from 1 to millions of lines long. So what exactly would your solution do differently? And it's not "unix" that does it this way, it's VMS, Windows, and pretty much everybody. In fact your concept is still not concrete enough to make sense. The browser can have a single address bar on top, because urls are a single string -- and they also don't interact with subsequent contents, commands, etc.
