Since windows does not have job control nor pseudo-terminals, I suspect that the backgrounding behavior is part of the Cygwin runtime. Windows programs are not linked to the Cygwin runtime. > Interestingly, the old Windows native zsh port (by AmolD) would always > return immediately when invoking "windowed" Windows apps, i.e., if I typed > `notepad', the shell would exec notepad.exe and immediately provide a new > prompt.

That's depends on which Windows runtime you link with. Phil.
