[Laszlo-dev] adding printing to LZX -- need help

I've been delving into how to add printing to LZX.  I tried out a number of 
things in the Flash authoring tool and wanted to try them out in LZX before 
adding to the LFC.

In Flash, I can call:  print("target", "bframe"), so I tried this simple 
test in LZX:

<canvas>
     <simplelayout/>
     <view id="p" bgcolor="yellow" width="200" height="40">
          <text>hello</text>
          <method name="doprint">
              Debug.write('doprint', this.__LZmovieClipRef);
              print(this.__LZmovieClipRef._target, "bframe");
          </method>
     </view>
     <button onclick="p.doprint()">print</button>

</canvas>

I get the following Debugger output:
  doprint  «movieclip#0| _level0.$m1»
  print-test.lzx:7: call to undefined function 'print'

Do I have to do something to the compiler to allow the print command to be 
compiled?  or is this a scoping problem?  or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance,

Sarah
