Not to sure how it is coded, but would it be possible to explicitly state the output variable within a function.

For instance


func(a,b):=some complicated stuff which ends up in M
M=

Not sure I understand. Please, post detailed explanation, maybe I'll implement it.

for example. The procedure to insert a row works, but the function doesn't because you can't explixitly return the answer.

Something like ans:=B would be the way i'd expect to do it, where ans is a reserved word like in Matlab

This is, actually, the possibility to make Mathcad-like multiline functions with "line" (extension of SMath programing capability). It is on my "wishlist" as well. I really do not have the slightest idea how complicated could that be to implement in SMath, considering differences between SMath and Mathcad.

As far as I know (hope I am right) the only way to define a function in more then one line (just visually) is with "if":
[MATH]func(x)←if(x≤5;5;x)[/MATH]
[MATH]func(2)=5[/MATH]
[MATH]func(10)=10[/MATH]

other syntax suggestions, these would go as the last line in a multiline function


I don't really have a preference, although B= is probably a bit weird.
