Private $aChar as String="a" Private Sub DoNothing() Dim bChar As String= "b" Return $aChar=bCar ' plus a whole bunch of further code that will ' never be executed because this Sub has ' already Returned, like Format(Now(),"yy-mm-dd") Now() ' etc End Public Sub Main() DoNothing Print $aChar End What you appear to have fallen for is the old putting a comment in the middle of a multiline command. As soon as you do that you have terminated the command and the "lines of code" after that are never executed because you have already got a valid Return command. Secondly, don't forget that all Gambas functions can be used as subs. So, the things that look like dangling functions in the code above aren't. They are functions used as subs.
