Jochen, you said,

... is there a higher level script form which this whole thing is called ?
Yes! Exactly. I'm calling this from a higher level script, and I need to return to that script, but abort the current script. So I need the EXIT command, not quit or return. I didn't include the higher level script, since it isn't necessary to demonstrate the problem (although it explains why I need EXIT).

Sorry... I tend to leave out important details! It also shows up in my scripts -- not commented very well! [Embarrassed]
