Say the debugee's output is prefixed with # or $ or whatever. I doubt that any message of the debugger starts with $ (or something other). So when the line begins with $ just strip the $ and the rest is debugee's output, otherwise it is debugger's.

Note that in your earlier message you seemed to think he wanted a prefix 
on the output of the debugger, but he meant the _debuggee_. Just in case 
you missed that.
This shouldn't be a problem, since presumably you (as the author of the 
debugger) have control over what messages the debugger itself generates 
and can ensure it never starts with the chosen prefix?
