hi guys,

i encountered following problem:

i have a set of shellscripts (/bin/sh) and use "return [value]" inside. 
it works fine on netbsd, but one of my colleagues using freebsd has 
problems with this. shell complains:
return can be used only in sourced scripts and inside cycles...

the situation looks as follows: script 1 calls other scripts (it just 
executes them, variables are transferred via command line parameters)... 
i.e. i don't source them...

i'd like to know what's the STANDARD behaviour? should it work, or 
shouldn't? man sh tells the same thing about return both on netbsd and 
freebsd machines...

i think i'll probably have to replace all returns by exits...

thanks for any help,
lubos
