thanks for the clarification Matthew, that all makes sense.
I think it would be useful if the documentation covers the situation where you want to forward to a new action but exit the current one immediately, with an example along the lines that you detailed in your email. I.e.
if (!$this->checkLogin() { return $this-> _forward('index', 'login'); }
That would help to clarify the situation for newcomers to ZF best wishes, Si
