I should point out that I don't think that the code you wrote actually would 
solve the problem you were trying to solve. That's because you usually need 
to make dispatching calls, and such a call would be bound to a subprogram 
when you wrote the name "Message.Print" and not when you actually made the 
call.

But I think the code you wrote is legal and you just have a compiler bug 
that is giving you the error that you reported. (Either that, or there is a 
different problem that should be reported.)

                                              Randy.
