freeing the prompt

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

Typically you can end the command with the '&' symbol to background the job and
free the command prompt.

Subject: freeing the prompt

i have a program that captures the terminal, mean when i run it it shows 
some outputs on that terminal, i want it to run it in background, i remember 
there is some thing to do with redirecting its output to /dev/null, but it 
simply hides the output, it doesnt free the prompt
can u guys tell me about the command
Regards
Azeem
