DOS 5.0 and task swapping - how?

I got 5.0 (ain't I one in a million? :-) and played around with DOSSHELL
and task swapping. However, I don't really want to use the shell, I'd just
like to start up two or three programs and switch between them. Can I do that
from the command line? ie, type in the equivalent of "emacs &" and then switch
between the command line and emacs? Obviously, DOS 5 has the ability to do
so, but I don't know how exactly.

Thanks!

Milan
