  Is this a .PRG that you're running from the desktop?  I once had the same
problem, and it turned out that it _was_ printing something--it was just 
doing it so fast and returning to the desktop that I never saw it.

  (If you're running this program from a command line, then of course
this isn't valid).

  Anyway, I've been using printf calls in my TOS programs (using the
Alcyon compiler) with no trouble at all.  Would you like a source fragment?
