Hi,



the manual say

"Unless an explicit Return is used, the value returned by Do is Null."

and that mean tha Return[] in a Do[]-Loop terminate the Do[] loop

and not the function. You mean



lmaa [] := Module[{i},
             res = Do[
                     If[i > 3, Return[{"from inside"}]],
                     {i, 0, 5}
                    ];
             If[Null === res, {"not from inside"}, res]
            ]



or

lmaa [] := Module[{i = 0},
             While[i < 6,
               If[i > 3, Return[{"from inside];
               i++
              ];
             {"not from inside"}
            ]

lmaa [] := Module[{i},
             For[i = 0, i < 6, i++,
               If[i > 3, Return[{"from inside"}]]
              ];
             {"not from inside"}
            ]

Regards
