If you use it inside a program, a plain LOAD is sufficient.  PRINT
"LOAD" would just display the word LOAD on the screen, and PRINT
CHR$(4);"LOAD" would either work like a plain LOAD or would cause an
error.

Anyway, there wouldn't be much point using it inside a program, since
you would be loading a new program on top of yourself, with no way to
run it automatically afterwards (short of some machine code help).

LOAD is normally used from the command line.

Ah yes.  What about the array load/save, or am I imagining that one?
