Free42 LNSTK debug
When debugging a program with LNSTK, executing RTN from the keyboard does not return to 4STK mode.

RE: Free42 LNSTK debug
Yes. Executing RTN from the keyboard deletes all local variables and restores the IJ pointers if the indexed matrix was hidden by a local variable, but it does not undo the effects of FUNC, L4STK, or LNSTK. I think doing so would get messy, and produce surprising results when the user doesn't expect it...

I would argue that the ones using those functions know what they are doing ;-)
After all, your local variables will disappear as well, why not your local dynamic stack?
I agree that FUNC should NOT be taken into account when executing a manual RTN, though.

I could make it restore the stack mode, but without restoring the stack contents... I considered that possibility while implementing LNSTK and L4STK, but I don't remember why I didn't go ahead and do it. It seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do.

I made the change. It will be in the next release of Free42 and the next test build of Plus42.
