13          If the <code>exit()</code> function was called from a
14          <a href="nksp.html#user_functions">user function</a>,
15          that user function is exited and execution continues from where that
16          user function was called (e.g. from another user function or an event
17          handler).

19        <p>
20          If the <code>exit()</code> function was called <b>directly</b> from an
21          event handler, that event handler is exited (i.e. execution of that
22          event handler instance is stopped).
23        </p>
24        <note>
25          The function name <code>exit()</code> is a bit misleading. This function
26          behaves identical to return statements in other programming languages.
27          So calling <code>exit()</code> does <b>not</b> stop execution of other
28        instances of the same event handler, nor does it stop execution of other        instances of the same event handler, nor does it stop execution of other
29        handlers of other event types, and especially it does <b>not</b> stop or        handlers of other event types, and especially it does <b>not</b> stop or
30        prevent further or future execution of your entire script! In other words,        prevent further or future execution of your entire script!
31        you should rather see this function as a return statement, in case you are      </note>
32        familiar with other programming languages already.
