Now it seems to me that the process to enable cgi execution has been modified.

Thank you all for your kind efforts to help.

The solution was, as advised, to use "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/test..." instead of
".test..." in the script. Thereafter the browser output became:

This is start of test.script
This is test1.script
This is end of test.script

I also learnt that the file test1.script must exist, in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, in
order for the script test.cgi to be able to write to the file test1.script. Is
there any way to configure, apache2 I assume, to allow writing to a
non-existing file?

I realize that allowing cgi scripts to access to what I am aiming at is
dangerous and has security issues. My experiments are however in a local
network without any connections to the outside world (the Internet).
