No, the script hits exit before that and goes bye-bye.
hrm...this is what i have now, but it still doesn't seem to execute the outlook function.
break on
call @scriptdir + '\outlook.udf'
outlook()
i've had enough for today. i'll try again in the morning when i can get a fresh start...

You could use KGen, which makes using UDFs transparent to the development process.
With KGen, you would write a TEST.TXT file in a project folder somewhere, like this:
break on
$RC = Outlook()
"The Outlook udf returned " $RC ?
Next, in the folder where your TEST.TXT file is, run KGEN TEST
(This assumes you placed KGEN.bat in the \Windows folder, or some folder in your PATH, and edited it to point to the location of the KiX32.exe and KGen.kix files, and defined the KixLibPath environment variable to point to a folder with all your common UDF files in it)
After a few seconds (and a warning that Variable $RC was not declared), you will find a TEST.KIX file in the directory, with the Outlook UDF included in it. Simply execute your TEST.KIX and verify it works!
KGen works like a Link-Editor for KiXtart. It enumerates every .UDF file in each directory specified by the KixLibPath variable. It creates an index of which UDF is in which file. It then parses your script TXT file (along with any .UDF files in the same folder) and assembles the .TXT file, all .UDF files from the current folder, and any .UDF file in your lib folder(s) needed by your script. It does so reiteratively, so that any dependencies of one UDF on another are resolved. By including all the .UDF files from the current folder, you can break larger projects into smaller, more managable parts, and still keep them all in one place.
Some other benefits of KGEN:
- Automatically performs a Sanity check of your code, looking for mismatched quotes or parens
- Identifies undeclared vars, duplicate var declarations, vars declared both local and global, and vars declared but not used
- Writes a log of all the UDF files it used to complete your project
- Creates a report (and INI file) of every var used, what line it was declared on, and what function it was declared in
KGen can be downloaded from my web site - it is the KiXDev package.
Glenn
PS - the next release of KGen (due in late Jan 07) will also create a .HTM file when the script is generated. This colorized image will help you quickly spot problems, and can be posted directly to the KORG BBS.
