"nohup" when a command is run "in the background" (appending an ampersand

invoking it rather than being saved in a file (nohup.out).

There is no change to the way nohup is used, only the destination of the
output has changed.  To use it, one should still type, for example,

	% nohup ms -p lpr myfile &
