Beware the bug.  The Param string needs to have a length or it'll
default to 32 bytes. :-(  I looked that up in the BASIC09 manual last

I don't know if it's really necessary.  I think that just got added
when I was chasing another bug, and left in.

I don't know BASIC-09 that well, so debugging it can make me thrash
around wildly.

Well, I'm aiming at a general case, and you might be looking for
something more specific.  Other than that, the only thing I can think
of is make sure the filename ends in a newline.
