I don't know what you are talking about. This syntax has not changed 
since Gambas 1.0.

Print A,B -> prints a tab character between A and B
Print A;;B -> prints a space between A and B
Print A;B -> prints nothing between A and B
Print A; -> do not print the newline character after A

Everything else should raise a compiler error.
