Perhaps they 'should' work; but they didn't back in the day.  Although I did
notice a later post that suggests using ':load' or ':save' -- that might
work.

DOS 3.3 and ProDOS both intercept the entire command line when the word
'LOAD' or 'SAVE' is typed in immediate mode.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure what I stated originally is correct--I remember
