As far as I can tell, it is not possible. Menu Tools>Options, Tab Diagrams, section Message Signatures allows you to change the display of the parameters, so you can have: getThing(thingNumber : int) or getThing(int) or getThing(thingNumber) or getThing() but no return value! You could do it by typing in plain text. You'll get messages in the error log like: 14:46:38| Warning: Message thing := getThing() received from object aControl by object aServer does not correspond to an operation of class Server. 14:46:38| The message has been set to free-form text. but you lose the information that this is an operation of the receiving object's class. You could show an explicit return (dashed arrow) and call it 'thing', but diagrams tend to get cluttered if you put in all the returns explicitly. Incidentally, the UML syntax for return values on a sequence diagram or collaboration diagram is thing := getThing() The return value comes before the operation name, and foo is implicit in the object or role receiving the message. (Though Rose doesn't do roles as far as I can tell.)
