Begin..End not accepted in stored procedures/functions?

When I try to create a function with a BEGIN .. END block, I get an error. When I try this:
CREATE FUNCTION TESTFUNC( x INT )
 RETURNS INT
 DETERMINISTIC
 BEGIN RETURN x+1; END;
I get this error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4
When I try the same without BEGIN and END (i.e. just "RETURN x+1;" on the last line), everything works just fine.

I need to use more complex functions that do require BEGIN - END notation. Any idea what can be wrong here?

(PS. Just in case it helps: Server version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4, MySQL client version: 5.0.51a)

(PS2. Sorry, I thought I was posting in the 'Stored Procedures' forum.. can a moderator move it?)
