Delete all references to "downline load" from your mind.  The capability is in
there and works as documented, but these days with KERMIT, XMOBUF, VIDTEX,
PUNTER, etc. readily available, who needs it?  This was done long, long, long
ago when there were no practical programs to download the C64 from a UNIX
based system.  The downline load capability existed, believe it or not, to
allow a new version of TERM.PLUS to be downloaded by the previous version!
Just forget it and use one of the aforementioned protocol download techniques
instead.
