OK, so here goes...

Under Unix, you can type a shell command and end it with "&" (IIRC), and 
it runs in the background. Is there any way of doing this under Windows?

Also, Unix as "sudo". Does Windows have anything similar?

(I just discovered that on Vista, you can't install Haskell packages 
because the installer doesn't have permission to write the files. But 
how the hell do you *give* it permission??)
