I didn't notice this in the "New....." section or the "Enhancements..." section of the VFP7 documentation, nor does the RETURN Command write-up mention it, so I thought I'd mention it here as it seems quite important to me.

An array can be specified as eExpression of a RETURN command provided that:
1) the array was passed by reference into the function in the first place;
2) the array is still in scope when the RETURN executes.
