It did help, but it is not an explanation. It is a declaration. I read it as
"for whatever reason RETURN is only allowed to be used ONCE
in a PROCEDURE block". I will try to memorize.
If I fail to memorize, the compiler will kindly remind me of the rule.
So OK, I take it that in the past I could write RETURN 1+2,
and now I am allowed to write RETURN 3. Just another rule.
It probably helps in writing a better compiler. I am fine with this.
