This question has spawned me to ask. Is there a way to gather the current
terminal contents from the shell when an application starts? When I start my
ncurses application and paint (for the lack of a better term) with a new
window the contents of the terminal are removed and when I exit the contents
of the terminal come back. So it's that shell terminal contents I want.

generally no - most terminal emulators don't have a way to dump the screen.
