+# Purpose: Test of SLURM functionality
+#          Verify that arguments get forwarded to job script (--batch option). 
+#
+# Output:  "TEST: #.#" followed by "SUCCESS" if test was successful, OR
+#          "FAILURE: ..." otherwise with an explanation of the failure, OR
+#          anything else indicates a failure mode that must be investigated.
+#
+# Note:    This script generates and then deletes files in the working directory 
+#          named test1.34.input, test1.34.output, and test1.34.error
