Just making sure: So only if the program is called more than once by the parent does the size increase, correct?
.... the size does not vary on how many times it is called, but in how many different locations that same code is, not sure why you are having such a hard time with this....
for example:
Code: SOMEPROG:
for(x,1,10
prgmSUB
if Q
return
end
Thats going to call prgmSUB 10 times, but its still only an extra 4 bytes to implement the return. compared to
Code: BIGPROG
prgmSUB
if Q
return
...(later on in the program)....
prgmSUB
if Q
return
...(still father along in the code)...
prgmSUB
if Q
return
Get it?
Regardless, though, its still smaller to use 'stop', but the point is that that breaks shell compatibility - just try and avoid it 
okay okay.
It all makes sense.
Why so hard... meh, I'm slow sometimes =/
sometimes its just hard to digest, no?
at least for me it is.
its important to know the underlying reason for doing something, that way if some1 asks u why u always use the return command, you actually know why. and also, you should know why you're using every piece of code in a program. it gives you CONTROL over the program
