Perhaps combinations of RESULT and EXIT may help?
if TimeToLeave then begin
Result := 5;
Exit;
end else ....

over and above any philisophical judgments on my programming

"return" ?
Yes.
Is some analogy to "return" not supported in the official pascal
dialect ?
exit with a parameter is not supported in other compilers afaik (e.g.
exit(5), equivalent to "return 5"). It may exist in Delphi (I've never
used Delphi), but it definitely does not exist in Turbo Pascal.
is 'exit' the only way to do this, and obviously, not portable to
other compilers ?
Exit without a parameter is supported in Turbo Pascal and Delphi.
is there another token that i could/should use ?
Not that I can think of.
