IIUC, that's exactly what the "setsid" command is intended to accomplish.
You can also try using bash's "disown" builtin.
   

Great. This worked!

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export SSH_ASKPASS="/usr/bin/win-ssh-askpass.exe"
setsid ssh -f -X <host> -l <username> "/opt/SAS82/sas"
But You'll need the setsid package (install it with cygwin setup).

And it worked for me too!!

Thanks guys

p.s. in order to roll out this great product to our faculty, staff and 
students (many of whom are less than computer-savvy), is there a way of 
packaging up set of packages (just the base, Xfree and a couple of misc. 
packages such as setsid above) so they can download from a local 
repository?  Sorta like a download profile for setup.exe?
