\newrite\terminal
\immediate\write\terminal{Test}

As long, as you do not open the new write, it will write to terminal and log 
file. BTW: For LaTeX you should simply use \typeout. So for generic code you 
may use something like:

\begingroup\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\endgroup
\expandafter\ifx\csname typeout\endcsname\relax
  \newwrite\@typeout
  \def\typeout{\immediate\write\@typeout}
\fi
