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.

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.).
