The return has no function at the end of a function.
try:
<script type="text/JavaScript">
var abc = 0;
function myFunction(){
if (abc=4){
para1.innerHTML = "finished counting at four";
return;
}
para1.innerHTML = abc++;
setTimeout('myFunction()',2000);
}
</script>
<body onLoad='myFunction();'>
<p id='para1'>x</p>
