--Here's a function:

function foo( atom a, atom b)
    return (a+b)
end function

--Here's how it's used.
atom a

a=foo(2,2)   -- the function call
?(a)
a=foo(2,3)
?(a)
?(foo(3,3))

--A function returns a value, so it needs to have someplace for the value to
;

--A procedure doesn't return a value, it just does something

procedure printboo(atom number)
    for i = 1 to number do
        puts(1, "Boo")
    end for
end procedure

printboo(3)
printboo(4)
printboo(5)
