error on device

Hello.
This code I took from basic4ppc book:
Sub App_Start
Form1.show
x=4
y=3
power(x,y)
msgbox(power(x,y))
End Sub

Sub power(number,pow)
if pow=1 then
return number
else
return number*power(number,pow-1)
end if
End Sub

It runs well on my desktop,but on my device won't(displays an error message)
Can you folks check if the programm runs on your devices???
Thank you.

What error message does it display?

error message (translated from russian):
"There is no way of displaying the error message as a set of additional resources containing it cannot be found"
I cant make sence of the message(even of my language one)

@Erel
Can you call a sub in a 'return' statement from the same sub ????

Yes, it's called "recursion" when a Sub calls itself but you always need a way out so that the stack gets unwound.

The code itself works fine on my iPAQ 214 so I don't know what the OPs' problem might be.
