Are you sure about this?  Have you actually tried it?  A SEQ file does NOT
have a structure compatible with the LOAD kernal routine.  LOAD expects to
find a load address, statement numbers (in LO-HI format, not text) statement
links and null statement terminators.  NONE of this information exists in
a pure text file imported from another machine.  I sincerely recommend that
you try out an idea before you strongly recommend it to the unsuspecting
public.  Thanks.
