I'm afraid I have to agree with Lewis Townsend -- this issue really *isn't*
worth the attention it's received. Why am I responding, then? Hopefully, to
provide a palatable solution for all concerned...

Simply use the following include file in every program where you want
print() to add that extra space:

-- printsp.e include file

procedure Print(integer fn, object data)
   print(fn, data)
   puts(fn, ' ')   -- or '\n', either one will work
end procedure

global procedure print(integer fn, object data)
   Print(fn, data)
end procedure

-- end of printsp.e

Now, print() will *always* add that extra space, but only for those programs
which really need it to.

Ta-daa!
