Render problem

I have been struggling to get a render command to work:

$this->render('xxx');

...where xxx is the name and path of a view. The view exists and is
being reached by the command (tested by misspelling xxx in the
command. I have also placed debug statements either side of the render
to test that that line of code is running.

The view is very simple, containing either echoes or straightforward
html, yet the render command is not issuing any output. To get it to
work I had to use:

echo $this->render('xxx');

...which is not specified in the online docs.

So whilst I have solved my problem, I am intrigued. Can anyone shed
any light on this please?
