BlitzMax looks like lots of fun, but I'm getting confused about how instance variables work in BlitzMax. This snippet of code isn't doing what I expect:

---
Type Foo
Field bar:String;

Function Report()
Print(bar)
EndFunction

EndType

Local a:Foo=New Foo
a.bar="Hello World"
a.Report();
---

I would expect to see "Hello World" printed, but instead I see "0". What gives?
