This one I'm spending to much time on.

I have a korn shell script.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
Do some initialization commands
Call a function startlogfile
Call function 'main'

    main calls function runsomething

        Runsomething initializes and returns "${SUBJECT}"     main can print ${SUBJECT}
    main returns ${SUBJECT} (or "${SUBJECT}", or ASUBJECT=${SUBJECT}

                             successfully ${ASUBJECT}, or "${ASUBJECT}"

what's going on?

Thanks,
