Sorry, I must have been high on cold medicine.  But what version 
of Gambas are you using?  I have 0.99.RC4.  In mine, where I go 
like this:

DIM mystring AS String
myString = "help me to understand mid String in gambas"
PRINT Mid$(myString, 4)
PRINT Mid$("Gambas",4)

I get

p me to understand mid String in gambas
bas

so basically, each string starting with the 4th character, which 
is as you'd expect.  It drops characters 1 through 3.
