Hm is the _local _name for the _value_ (not, in this case, variable) passed 
in.

What is returned is a _value_ not a variable.  Try this:

 test-func: func [value] [
      value: value + 200
      return value
      ]
      
print test-func 100
print value      

the first 'print correctly prints 300. The second fails as the word 'value 
only has a meaning within the function. If you want a global variable 'value 
too, then:

value: test-func 100
print value         ;; prints the global 'value, ie 300

another-value: test-func 500 
print another-value   ;; prints 700
print value     ;; prints 300. Changing 'value in the func doesn't affect the 
global variable
