Make that " . . . returning the exit value . . . "  
 
I'd better slow down :-)

Chris,
 
The $? variable returns the exit code of whatever command was executed 
immediately before it.  In your case, it is exiting the return value of the 
preceeding 'echo' command.  You need to capture the value of $? immediately 
after the exp command.
 
Regards,
Brandon
