Dave, Michael, Dale:

   Thank you all. Cherry picking from the offered solutions I found what
works.

   From the directory in which the script started I typed ^z. This paused the
running script. Then I typed 'bg' and the script re-started in the
background:

[rshepard at salmo ~]$ ./send-nl.sh 
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 ./send-nl.sh
[rshepard at salmo ~]$ bg
[1]+ ./send-nl.sh &

   I thought it was simple, but not having a need to do this before I wanted
to check with you gurus before trying anything.

Best regards,

Rich
