The CLI gets the return value the same way Robs examples do.  Likewise
it will respond to return(value); and exit(value); just as Rob described
in his examples.  This is not a "CLI vs. the examples" difference, this is 
something to ba aware of with Lstartup.obj(.asm).   NewCLI IS written in 
BCPL.  We see no point in releasing the souce to that on top of the other 
examples Rob Peck provided.

	Have IBM or Microsoft given you the source to COMMAND.COM ?
Please, give us a break.
