Loading gnus from within emacs is slow-- it takes several minutes. What I want to do is start emacs by typing: emacs -f gnus & running emacs gnus in the background. However it writes to the screen--something I don't want. I cannot do 'stty tostop' because it will stop the job and defeat the purpose of setting up gnus while I do other things. How do I make emacs (or any other program) run in the background but write to /dev/null instead of the screen and then when I bring it into the forground with 'fg %' have it write to the terminal?
