R-beta: return()

[Bill Simpson]

I have a question on the use of return(). (Nothing on it in the docs I
have)

The test code below gives the error: Error: Object "x" not found
when I do: thingy2().
How should it be fixed?  Thanks very much for any help!
(My original solution to this sort of problem was to use global variables
x<<-...
y<<-...)

-----------------------------
thingy<-function(k)
{
x<-5+k
y<-5-k
return(list(x=x,y=y))
}

thingy2<-function()
{
thingy(10)
cat("x,y:",x,y,"\n")
}
