I was looking through some old pascal line printer listings from

Of course java can. Try System.in and System.out.

containing a jtextarea for output, and below that a jtextfield to be
the input area. The question is, how to make the program stop and
wait for input when it needs it.

Don't stop, just don't change the state you're in. Just fire an event after
the input ocurred and let the main program react on that event.
