So I see.  So it's not just a question of a script removing itself from 
memory at the point where control passes, it's 'exit' as we see.  Still, 
the question of who gets control is there -- the computer does not shut 
off.  But again, that question would be there anyway so 'exec' doesn't 
make the question any more difficult.  I guess as far as zsh is 
concerned that's as much as can be said.
