What do I type in the Immediate Window the determine the data type returned
by a function? (Similar to using '? vartype(MyVariable)' ) I need to
know the proper syntax.

Have you tried

?VarType(FunctionExpression())

or

?TypeName(FunctionExpression())

But what sort of functionare you wondering about, that you can't find out
from the function definition or the Object Browser?

It's just that naot all Functions have an 'As' term revealing the data type.
Are these all variants if the data type is not specified?

Yes. If a function's header doesn't specify the return type, then the
function returns a Variant. In many cases, the function will return a
specific subtype of Variant -- e.g., Variant(String) -- or else Null. To
know that, though, you'd have to look at the function code itself.
