Is there a way to cause vim to display the console screen without actually shelling to it?

I'd like to jump between the console and the editor without having the console scroll up.

Is there a way that this can be done? I see that there are terminal codes that save and restore the screen and this seems to be what vim uses to restore the console when you shell or Ctrl-Z out, so there must be a way to restore it without causing the shell to be invoked resulting in the terminal being scrolled up. Then a user can hit any key to restore the vim display.

If this isn't a default feature, could this be done in scripting?

Thanks,


A
