The documentation for load is correct.   Consider

A=load('test.dat')

If 'test.dat' has 17 rows and 2 columns, A.shape will be (17,2), "print 
A" will print an array with 17 rows and 2 columns, and so on.  But

x,y=A

will not work, because tuple unpacking of numarray arrays goes by rows, 
not by columns.
