As long as you use the most recent version fo BASIC.SYSTEM (1.5) this
works fine. Prior releases did not grok the S16 filetype.

Evidently some hackery was added to BASIC.SYSTEM to transfer control
back to GS/OS - keeping in mind it will only work if the GS was booted
into GS/OS in the first place.
