[R] Returning to parent function

Hello,
I would like a function X to return to the place that called the
function XParent that called this function X.
Y calls XParent
Y = function(){
XParent()
print("hello")
}
XParent calls X
XParent = function(){
X()
print("H")
}
X returns to the point just after the call to XParent. Hence
print("H") is not called, but instead "hello" is printed.
An example of what i'm going for is this
continueIfTrue <- function(filterExp, grpname, subname,n=1){
y <- substitute(filterExp)
res <- isn(eval(y, envir=parent.frame()),FALSE)
## if res is FALSE, I would like to return from telemStats
}
telemStats <- function(a,b){
b <- c(10,12)
continueIfTrue( { length(b) >=10 }, "progStats","00")
print("Since the above condition failed, I would not like this
message to be printed")
}
I looked into callCC and signals but dont think i understood correctly.
Any hints would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Saptarshi
