bg outputs 0

and in:

to sfondo
 bg
end

"sfondo" doesn't know what to do with 0.

it looks like this:

to sfondo
 0
end

that is why the error message says:

"I don't know what to do with 0 in sfondo"


if you want sfondo to work like bg you need to make
sfondo _output_ the value returned by "bg":

to sfondo
 output bg
end
