"command &" just runs 'command' in the background. eg typing
"xmessage hello" will run the xmessage program but suspend your
shell until xmessage has quit; typing "xmessage hello &" will do
exactly the same thing, but your shell won't be suspended since
xmessage is running in the background.
but getting back to the original question, fwin -help reports
14:21 ~% fwin -help
Syntax:
/usr/bin/fwin [-auth] [-disp N] [-version] [-help] [<win parameters>]
-auth is used when the '-auth' X server option is required.
-disp N is used to specify which console X display to use
instead of it being automatically determined.
The number N must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
-version prints out the Win4Lin build version.
-help prints out this syntax explanation.
Any other parameters are passed on to the 'win' program.
In addition, the environment variable FWIN_X_ARGS can be used to
specify additonal X server parameters.
try fwin -disp 1 to force it to use the :1 display rather than
:0.
