(Please let's not flame this beginner, and let's not start a long discussion
about what's wrong with this code)

Your code is just fine. The problem is that you named your program "test".
There is a standard utility "test" in /bin, and if that comes before your
current directory in your $PATH, you actually execute /bin/test instead
of your own program. When you run "dbx test" or something, you give "test"
as argument, and that is not subject to PATH-search, so dbx will run your
"test" instead of /bin/test. That's all.

Paul.
