Jorge, your problem actually has nothing to do with curses :-) On most systems background processes do associate with a screen and therefore cannot display any data onto a screen. One thing you may consider is establishing a communication channel between a baground job and the foreground one. Then, the data would be passed to the foreground job which in turn will display it, in a separate window if you wish. If you do not want to be that adventurous, you can simply write your data to a file and then the foreground process can read it and display it. Hope this helps.
