Eh??? What does help(return) say on your system? Mine has

Usage:

     function( arglist ) expr
     return(value)
......
     If 'value' is missing, 'NULL' is returned.  If it is a single
     expression, the value of the evaluated expression is returned.

     If the end of a function is reached without calling 'return', the
     value of the last evaluated expression is returned.
