This is a feature of the shell, not the OS. Bash, csh and FreeBSD's
/bin/csh all support it.

You need an external seesion manager to do this (possibly RH's bash
does fills that role). Personally, I use xemacs, and then do
"gnuclient -nw' get xemacs to start a frame on my tty.

If xemacs is a bit more than you want to deal with, look into the
screen utility, which is in the ports tree.
