Wrap a program in borders

0

I want a unix command like this:

$ wrap mc
$ wrap ls
$ wrap vi

It should create a border box with the size of the terminal window and run the command passed to it inside this box so that the command passed to it (mc, ls, vi) thinks the terminal is 2 columns and 2 rows smaller than the actual terminal window size and renders its output inside the box.
Do you have a suggestion?

Something like this:

ncurses user-interface

  @ThomasDickey tmux would be overkill, I need a simple light solution.

  No, it won't run those kind of programs. For that, I also second tmux
