AAARGH!  I've just realized what I was doing!  I'm more used to another
OS (Haiku), where the current directory is first in the path. so I
was just typing "test".  Being as that is a command of its own, it's not
surprising it was just returning true! Tried "./test" and of course it
works fine.  Lesson: if you can't remember the "./", don't use generic
names for your programs!

Glad that someone is using the app successfully.  It definitely was
confusing to set up, because the intro docs don't seem to mention what
one might need to do, but once I figured that out it seems to work
well.

Thanks,
