I tried this but got:
"No property 'flush' for type '_iobuf'"
Did you import std.stdio? I tried the following and it works:
import std.stdio;
void main() {
write("abc");
stdout.flush();
}
Do you have a code snippet that you're having trouble with, so
that we
can look at it more carefully? It's a bit hard to tell what
your problem
might be without seeing the actual code.
Sorry but please note I also posted to the GDC forum - the
non-return
from the anti-spam delay made me think this posting had failed.
This forum (d-learn) is the correct forum for posting questions
about
learning D. The GDC forum is for discussions specific to the GDC
compiler (building the GDC compiler, bugs/issues with GDC,
etc.).

I tried your example, getting four error messages first of which
was
'undefined identifier write, did you mean function fwrite?'.
I am using GDC as provided with Debian 6.0.7, and my usual D
write-functions are writef and writefln.
