I believe it will cause XMANAGER itself to exit.

Use 'return'. If the wrong things happen when you return from the
procedure or function, then there's a defect somewhere in your code;
either in the procedure/function itself, or in one of the things that
directly or indirectly calls it.

That's the problem. RETALL returns to the state before the application
was loaded. i.e.: no application.
