Perhaps I don't understand this 'bash' feature, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Start typing a command, press Ctrl-Up, and it finds the previous line in the history that started like that.
rudimentary 'net' works.I do lots of bash scripting including Windows/DOS commands, and I can think of only one character cell app that ever gave me any trouble from rxvt or xterm (whatever that app is -- I think a Resource Kit app), I found a work-around and never needed it again.
'net' is a troublesome command that's been mentioned, although it seems to be ok for basic stuff. But I guess there might be still be a few DOS fullscreen apps around. Turbo Pascal perhaps? But yeah, I'd sooner implement tabs than worry about DOS apps. ;)

I've used it on occasion when I needed to scroll back through two debugging runs of a text-mode (character cell) app (or debugging statements).
So your debug print macro or whatever would be switching screens?
Exactly what I had in mine.What would be better for this and other problems, however, is a feature that I would love: The ability to interactively, on the fly change, the Title Bar/Task Bar Title to be clear on what each Window is doing.
Can you explain the "interactive" bit a bit more. Do you mean clicking on the window title and start typing away at it?
