I don't know the programs you are talking about in terms of OS/2, but I
use "screen" for running jobs that may require text input at some later
date.
I use screen when running mutella [A gnucleus/etc style p2p fileshare
client/server]
screen mutella [This opens up the program in the current shell]
ctrl+a d [This detaches the shell and returns the prompt]
If I want to get back to it, I can run
screen -r [ -r is reattach]
The program runs in the background quite happily in my experience.
YMMV
:o)
Hope this helps!
