Are you sure? I get

  $ cat false.gbs3
  #!/usr/bin/env gbs3

  Public Sub Main()
    Dim var As Boolean
    Print var
  End
  $ ./false.gbs3
  False

Print calls Str$() to convert values to strings and Str$(False) is the
string "False", it's not empty. You or your Print seems to call CStr()
for whatever reason which converts the Boolean False to the Null string,
as that is the only falsy string in Gambas.

Instead of Jussi's suggestion with IIf() you can also use Str$(),
if you really just want "True" or "False" to be printed and not some
other strings.

Tobi
