It should immediately return from the inner-most function, allowing one to return a value. Here's a usage scenario (modified from Extlib, it would be even shorter with 'break'): (* Find the index of string 'sub' within 'str' *) let find str sub = let sublen = String.length sub in if sublen = 0 then return 0; let len = String.length str in for i = 0 to len-sublen do let j = ref 0 in while String.unsafe_get str (i + !j) = String.unsafe_get sub !j do incr j; if !j = sublen then return i done; done; raise Not_found Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
