SAVE was the equivalent of OPEN#channel,file:LIST#channel:CLOSE#channel?

It'd be good for each, but for LOAD, a large interleave to allow for tape 
stop-start would be good (as the tokenization was [relatively] slow).

With LBYTES, scatter loading would use whatever happened to pass the head; 
interleave would possibly mean that it would be the next logical block.
