The screen command with pre-set status bar, and cool (easy to remember) shortcuts, like F3, F4, F5 and a configurable menu on the F9 button.

yum install byobu

I ran across "byobu" about a month ago, and thought "sure would have been nice when I was first learning about 'screen'!" At this point, though, I've got my ~/.screenrc so nicely set up that I don't want or need anything else. But this would sure make some people's day.
