    Brent Ashley posted this little jewel some time ago.

At the beginning of your code, insert this line...

  DECLARE SUB ExitWithErrLvl ALIAS "_exit" (BYVAL ErrorLevel%)

... and put this line right before you exit.

  ExitWithErrLvl 5
  END

No guarantees, but a lot of people use it.  I don't think
it will work from within the environment.
