Boy, one never stops learning....
But I have some trouble understanding that - when I write a test-script
that returns 1 as exit-code, os.system returns 256. Inn fact, returnung
n means that 256*n is returned from os.system.
But 256 is _also_ returned when C-c is used. Any idea why that's the case?
