Even if you write "Hello Universe!" instead of the common "Hello World",
the hello program MUST have the name hello.c (Builtin feature of gcc :-).

But seriously, "test" is a regular command of the shell, and the shell 
first trys internal commands before checking anything on the path.
I *know* that the hello program works, I've checked it myself first.
