How can I STOP a cursed recursion?
With some difficulty, I built a recursive procedure, which seems to work
fine, except that I can't get it to STOP.
It knows when it gets to where it should stop, & I put return in at that
point, & when that didn't work, I set an external variable to 1 (=finished)
when it got to that point, and added a test at the beginning of the procedure
to "return" if it saw that var "finished", but that didn't work either.
The procedure was to take a sequence of sequences like what "folder" would
have when adding items to a TreeView, and go thru them to compute the correct
positions to put those items into in a "horizontal" treeView. The procedure
worked thru the items in a correct fashion, got to the last item just below
the root item, knew it was where it should stop, but continues to maybe
"unravel" previous left-over recursions, or something?????
Is there some way to just STOP a procedure, even if it has been working
recursivly?? Or maybe recursion is supposed to be limited to FUNCTIONS?
procedure Help!()
print(1,"help!")

-- How can I stop!?
end procedure
Help!
