Res := fpSystem('/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal')

will open a new tty .

To send logging information to this terminal you could use

Assign(tf,/dev/pts/XX where XX = actual tty number
ReWrite(tf);
WriteLn(tf,'This is a log entry'
Close(tf);

How can your program determine which XX was used for the new tty?
