Below is a silly example. The general documentation can be found by
typing in Stata -help return-

*------------------- begin example ------------------
clear all
program define helloworld, rclass // note: rclass
    // do other stuff
    return scalar hello = .52
end

helloworld
return list
*------------------ end example ---------------------

Hope this helps,
Maarten
