Hi Mike There is no formal mechanism for a script to return a value. There are several distinct ways to use scripts: 1) As a function or object library. Then do %my-script.r ;loads the functions for use in the console or within another script. 2) A script can set values for some global variables, which are then used from the console or within a second script (more general case of 1) ). In your example below, Script2.r could simply create a global variable: (in Script2) script2-return: [value1 value2 other-block "etc"] Then Script1 can simply use 'script2-return in the code following the call of Script2. 3) A script could write a file of results using 'load or 'write and these could be read in by another script. By designing scripts with these ideas in mind, it is probably not really necessary to have an explicit return mechanism.
