Ah ok - thanks Salem - and yes I will go read the man page now..

edit::

If anyone who reads this has trouble finding info about the return value of printf by using 'man printf', try using 'man 3 printf'

Another thing... I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the startup routine would interpret that number 13 as if I had explicitly returned 13 from main()?
