Ugh. I just tried this and it doesn't work in Rev- although it's the
standard way to deal with this sort of task in a terminal.
I'm guessing that Rev refuses to return until the process is completely
terminated- and opens a whole new shell environment every time you call
shell(). How rude!
Now picking for a workaround... sorry for the false alarm.

Agh, sorry- I obviously missed the point of the thread.
Add an ampersand after your command:
get shell("mycommand > mylogfile.log &")
Voila, a "backgrounded" process that returns immediately.
Oh cool. I will go try it. I have a use for this. :)
