Try instead:
     puts(1, "Worked\n")
     if getc(0) then
     end if

Or try running exu from a plain text-mode console.

If you are running exu in a console window within
a GUI environment, it might create a new window
and then close it so fast that you don't see the output.
On some versions of Linux/FreeBSD exu will prompt
with "Press Enter" at the end, but it might not work
like that on all systems. Your program may need to
prompt for input so you can see the output before
the window closes. exw is much the same.

Also, be careful not to type "ex". On my system,
there's an editor called "ex".

And check for any ex.err that may have been created.
