[R] dataframe behavior

I recently constructing a data.frame "belle" that now does not spew its
contents when I type the name on the command line (see errors below). It
will only do so if I specify columns. Incidently, plot(belle) displays the
pairs plot of all variables.

> belle
Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE) :
 can't coerce array into a data.frame
> belle[,]
Error in [.data.frame(belle, , ) : Argument "j" is missing, with no default
> class(belle)
[1] "data.frame"
> belle[,1:3]
   block plot trt
1      2   25   9
2      2   26  16
3      2   27   6
..........

Any idea what is going on?
thanks
