Just remove the "&"s. If you want it to run in the background, type
"wxgrass &".

Note that GUI applications typically don't put themselves into the
background automatically. If you want them to run in the background,
you have to add the "&" yourself.

Sometimes you might want to wait for termination, e.g. to perform
clean-up. Having an application auto-background makes it impossible to
reliably detect termination.
