R help - Jul 2003 - Programs stopped working--.print (newbie question)

I must have messed up my R environment, but don't know how or how to undo
it.  The problem is this:

I paste the following into R:

test<-function()
{
    print("hello")
}

And I see this:
> test<-function()
+ {
+ .print("hello")
+ }
> test()
Error in test() : couldn't find function
".print"
> 
When I do the same in a fresh environment, I see this:
> test <-function()
+ {
+ print("hello")
+ }
> test2()
[1] "hello"

I see a period "." before 'print' in your function definition.
Might
this be the problem?
