Pane was exactly the term used by the Apollo Computer Display Manager back in the early 80s.  A shell window included a line separating unconsumed editable type-ahead from immutable history.  The two areas were know respectively as the input pane and the transcript pane.  You can see two examples in the following image:

Window pad0001 displays a privileged shell prompt (#) in the input pane.  Window pad0002 display a cpscr program executing so no shell prompt ($) yet.
