My mind is drawing a blank here and Google searches are not finding what I need. When launching an application from the command line what is the switch that disassociates that app with the command line window?

nohup command &

You can start the command like:
xeyes &
or if you've started it and want to background it hit control-z and then type in bg <enter>

A single ampersand.
I don't know about other shells, but on bash anyways.
Two ampersands executes another command after the first one has finished.
