The main classes you need are Emulation, Vt102Emulation, Screen which
decode incoming blocks of characters and translate them into an
on-screen image represented by Character and CharacterColor objects.
In Konsole this is then rendered by the TerminalDisplay class.

You didn't mention where the incoming character stream is from.  In
Konsole the kdelibs KPty / K3Process classes are used to start the
shell and send/receive data to/from it.  The Emulation class has slots
to receive this data and process it.

Regards,
Robert.
