I chalk it up to be poor coding. [Big Grin]

What is happening is that Quit and Exit both take an expression that follows and tries to enumerate it as the exit code. This has happened in previous versions in certain circumstances.

Best practice dictates that one should always pass a value with Quit and Exit.

code:
break on
$a = "1~2"
$i=$a
gosub A
$a=$i
for each $x in $a
? "'$x'"
next

;Not only 'return' works. Try using 'exit 1' and 'quit 1'
exit 1
;quit 1
;return

:A
$i=split($i,"~")
return
