Screen is certainly the best method to do this that I have found ... is 
there a reason why you DON'T want to use screen.

you can use the '&' to put things in the background and use the command 
'fg' to bring it to the foreground ... but screen also redirects stdout 
and stderr for you, so I would still use it unless there is a specific 
problem you are trying to address.
