Subject: Re: Cannot get ^Z to suspend a program

thanks for the reply:

I was trying to use CTRL-Z after opening up a windows program (such as emacs
-- the windows version or excel)

Suspend will work if I perform it on the sleep command.
1> sleep 20

Suspended
2>

Why won't it suspend If I type the following:

1> emacs &
[1] 1668
2> emacs

The first command opens up my emacs (for windows) program and runs it in the
background (so I can still use the prompt).
So, I assume if this capability is there, then it should also be able to put
it in the background after I have already opened it.
However, when I type the second command, I can't use CTRL-Z to put it in the
background.
Do you know why this is?
