I dunno what causes it. But instead of doing a "load", I do a clear scren, and
print 'load "kermit",8' on the third line, and 'run' on the fifth line, of the
screen. Then I home the cursor, shove two carriage-returns into the keyboard
buffer so that it'll be as if I, the user, manually typed all that stuff, and
presto, instantly fooled C-64...
