in fact you are right in the vb way ... but not it OO way...

And gambas is more in the OO one and since the begining.

For the return problem ... there is not problem as the run procedure
can return the value.

You can use a public variable in a module too

Private sValue as string
STATIC Publc Run() as string

  if not me.showmodal then return
  return sValue
END

dim s as string
s = fForm.Run
if s then print s
