   Ok, I got it.   
      
   Picking apart the *.CAS file that I was trying to load had initially   
   suggested that the filename was "SPWAR"  There is other data in the   
   file, of course, but that plaintext seemed like a good guess.   
      
   It turns out the needed filename is "SPWAR "  I finally got it to load   
   with Cass? L, at 500 baud, with the aforementioned filename.  Odd,   
   though, I can dimly remember that "*" was supposed to load whatever   
   file, regardless of filename.   
      
   I blew away a few "Jovians," and feel much better now.   
      
   Thanks for your efforts.
