This depends on what you want to do.
There are two types of "functions" in Blitz; statements and functions. Both
do exactly the same job, except that functions can return a value.

End Statement
If you want to use functions. Then use Function and End Function. To make a
function return a value, use "function return <value>"
Is relly is that simple. To call the statement, use "statementname{}".
Functions will require you to give a varible for the return value. Something
like "b=functionname{}" will do.
Hope this helps.
