Mathematica 2.0 for IBM RISC System 6000
Copyright 1988-91 Wolfram Research, Inc.

Using the above system, the following works:
nohup math <command file &

One can then log out, and all of the output will subsequently
be stored in the file, nohup.out.

        If one instead simply gives the command:
math <command file
the results will appear on the terminal screen as they are
produced.
