You don't want DB to run into a function or it will crash (as you found). You should put an END command before your functions so that your program doesn't crash.
The way you use functions is by calling them.

here's a little example

+ Code Snippet

For i = 1 to 20
  HelloWorld(rnd(620),rnd(460))
Next i

set cursor 0,0
print "The program is now over and will end before crashing into a function!"
wait 2000

END

`-----------------
` Functions
`-----------------
Function HelloWorld(x,y)
  set cursor x,y
  print "Hello World!"
Endfunction

The code examples in books rarely work properly. The code in tutorials are usually more reliable:

See number 6.
