I think the point here is that Return[] only seems to work when directly
entered at the top level. It does not work in a button, nor does it work in
a function (where it has another meaning of course).

I encountered this problem some time ago and Wolfram support offered the
following (which works):

ButtonBox["Resume", ButtonEvaluator -> None,
    ButtonFunction :>  FrontEnd`ExitSubsession[Automatic],
    Active -> True] // DisplayForm

Curiously, there is a function ExitDialog with a usage statement but no
other documentation which also fails when put inside a button! It would be
nice if WRI fixed this function and documented it for the next release.
