 listing, a function always ends with ENDFUNC. When this line is
reached, error message 69 appears (ENDFUNC without RETURN) because a function
must always encounter RETURN before it reaches ENDFUNC.

If the $F> function is used, this also applies to the compiled program. The $F<
option prevents the error message from being displayed. The code will then
simply continue to be executed after the function, with unpredictable results.

As a rule, compiled programs have been thoroughly tested. If this is the case,
error 69 should not appear. Using $F< will then produce slightly shorter
program code.

Memo: $F> is the default.
      $F< will save about 4 bytes per FUNCTION.
