Colin's diagnosis was correct, and in general it's a good
idea IMHO to avoid names already taken. For the sake of
completeness, I'll mention that you *could* do this
book: make oject! [
author: title: info: none
print: func [] [system/words/print [
author ":" title
]
]
because your redefinition of PRINT is only within the
context of BOOK; it won't interfere with the use of
PRINT outside that context (unless you do something
else to cause *that* effect ;-)
