A semicolon (;) is ''not'' the same as a concatenate operator (+), it is an instruction that works only on the <code>PRINT</code> statement to suppress newlines at the end of a literal or series of literals. For example, the instruction <code>S$="HELLO";"LITERAL"</code> would result in a syntax error.
PRINT S$;" LITERAL" :REM OR S$ + " LITERAL"▼
S2$ = S$ + " LITERAL"▼
