| Where can we use 'return' directly in a trap script? What am I not getting? I suspect that if you want specified behaviour, the answer is nowhere. However, almost all shells extend (one way or another) the places where return/break/continue can be used beyond what is specified in the standard. It just is done differently. It is possible (and seems so, from messages in this thread) that bash allows a return in the trap string (not in a function called in that string) if the trap occurs while executing a function (then the return applies to that function). kre
