How to run an application in cygwin without locking the shell

Question

I would like to open applications in cygwin, for example. notepad, etc. without blocking the shell. Is there any way to do this?

For example, entering text into a notepad myfile.txtnotebook will open, and the cygwin shell will not be available until the notebook is closed. I would like cygwin to stay responsive while notepad is open.
